Configuring Your System

The cRIO-9805 functions as an Ethernet switch for an out-of-the-box NI TSN system. The following sections describe the most common topologies created with a cRIO-9805.

Note You can use other network devices as nodes in your Ethernet system, but the system may not provide the advantages of an NI TSN system.
Host Can be a Windows computer or a real-time controller with the NI Linux Real-Time operating system, such as the IC-317x, cRIO-9035/9039 Sync, cRIO-904x, cRIO-905x, or cDAQ-913x for LabVIEW Real-Time.
Node Can be the cDAQ-9185, cDAQ-9189, or any FieldDAQ device.
