Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

We would like to begin a new product development reauiring a SOM to be embed into our global system.

Is the sbRIO-9651 close to end-of-life ? Will it still be available for 5 to 10 years to come ?

The sbRIO-9651 isn't a mature or legacy device, so it's safe to assume it will still be available in 5-10 years. You can find more information on general lifecycle here: Hardware Product Lifecycle Policies

Greetings,

If you go to this page, there is a section titled CompactRIO COMPONENTS. This section has a subsection titled Board-Level Controller. The photo above still shows a sbRIO-9651 SoM (smallest device in the middle). However, if you follow the link there's no further mention of the sbRIO-9651 SoM.
Similar happens if you go to this page. The bottom section titled RELATED PRODUCTS contains a subsection in the middle titled CompactRIO System on Module. However, if you click on it you get a misleading error message.
Finally, if you go to this page, following the View Product Flyer link will get you to a flyer pdf. However, following the VIEW PRODUCT DETAILS will produce the same misleading error message.

Is this about a series of temporary glitches, caused by misdirected links, or the cRIO SoMs are discontinued?

 

Thanks for your time.

Hello,

 

This is a series of temporary errors. I have alerted our internal web teams to take a look at it. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!

Hi sukaba,

 

Our web team is still working to resolve the broken links. In the meantime, you can find the product page for the sbRIO-9651 at the link below:

It seems they are still working on fixing broken links? One would think that this should not take 2 years!

Any luck in fixing the links? Can someone share the link to the documentation for it (at least this new "generate-me PDF" new version nonsense)?

Have you tried to look at the sbRIO product page https://www.ni.com/nl-nl/shop/hardware/products/compactrio-single-board-controller.html?

 

Online shopping currently unavailable for these products.

You cannot currently purchase this product online. Please contact us for assistance.

Of course the sbRIO-9651 is not even mentioned in that list and that contact link might just put you into a call center where someone after a long wait time eventually tells you that there are no engineer available to take your call.

The only documentation I see is here:

 

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/sbrio-9651-specs/resource/376962c.pdf

 

On a positive note, it is a 'proper' pdf file.

 

As for the sbRIO-9651, it appears to be an active product and is listed on Newark's web site:

 

https://www.newark.com/ni/783525-03/dev-board-zynq-7020-fpga-arm-cortex/dp/14AJ5742

 

The part number 783525-03 is the correct one to use.

 

It may be worth giving Newark a call and see if they can get availability of the sbRIO-9051 from NI.

 

As for the web site, it looks like someone needs to tidy up the loose ends. In fairness, I don't recall being able to order sbRIOs online, except the evaluation kit, and those orders got flagged for manual review. You have always had to contact NI (or a distributor).
