cRIO-9039 Real-Time Clock

[Amy4082001]

Hi,

I'm using the CRIO-9039 to control 3 BLDC motors.  I would like to bring out its Real-Time (RT) clock so I can synchronize multiple sensors with motor movement.  

How do I bring out the 9039's RT clock (preferably on a pin)?  

Thanks.

Hi Amy,

I am not aware of a pin that directly exposes the RT clock on a cRIO or a C-Series module. You could use a C-Series DIO module to output a pulse whose frequency is determined by dividing down from the base clock.

If your goal is to synchronize sensor input with motor output, assuming you have the correct C-Series modules to interface with the sensors and motors, you could likely use the LabVIEW Real-Time and SoftMotion modules (and possibly FPGA) to accomplish this functionality.
