Part Number 784228-01 refers to the National Instruments IC-3172 Industrial Controller, a robust solution designed for diverse industrial applications. This controller is powered by an Intel Core i5-5350U processor, delivering a base frequency of 1.8 GHz and a turbo boost capability up to 2.9 GHz, complemented by a 3 MB on-die cache. It features 8 GB of DDR3L RAM operating at 1600 MT/s and includes 4 GB of nonvolatile storage. The device runs on the NI Linux Real-Time 64-bit operating system, ensuring high reliability in time-critical tasks.

The IC-3172 is equipped with a Xilinx Kintex-7 XC7K160T FPGA, which consists of 202,800 flip-flops, 101,400 six-input look-up tables (LUTs), and 600 DSP48E1 slices, along with 32 DMA channels and logical interrupts. Networking capabilities are supported through an Ethernet port compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards, with speeds of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps, utilizing an RJ45 interface. The power requirements include a DC voltage supply ranging from 9 to 30 V, or 21.6 to 30 V when utilizing Power over Ethernet (PoE), with a maximum power input of 150 W.

In terms of connectivity, the IC-3172 features two USB 3.0 ports, each supporting speeds up to 5 GB/s, and four USB 2.0 ports with speeds of 480 Mbit/s. Video output is enhanced with two display ports capable of delivering resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz. Additionally, it has an RS-485/422/232 serial port via RJ50, capable of baud rates up to 115,200 kbps, and includes eight bidirectional TTL I/O channels with an output voltage range of 0 V to 5 V, plus two differential I/O channels able to achieve a maximum pulse rate of 5 MHz.

The physical dimensions of the IC-3172 are 6.9 inches in length, 3.7 inches in width, and 6.6 inches in height, with a weight of 3.039 kg. It operates effectively within ambient temperatures from 0 °C to 55 °C, while the recommended operating range is slightly reduced to 0 °C to 50 °C when PoE exceeds 30 W. A user-replaceable 3V BR2032 lithium-carbon monofluoride coin cell battery ensures reliability, with a rated operational temperature up to 85 °C.
