crio-system in sleeping-mode or software-switching-off ?

[Simon_Gabriel]

hi,

i have a cRIO - 9012 system and i want to know, if anyone knows if it's possible to send a signal to a i/o module on the target that says that the cRIO-system should switch in a sleeping-mode or that switches it off. if it's possible how, and how can i turn it on again? maybe via the ethernet port ? 

or does anyone know, if there is a module that has an elko or anything else, that can power the system for a few seconds after you switch the main power supply off ?

thanks for your replies,

simon

Hello Simon,

 
I think i may have found what you have been looking for:

This Knowledgebase shows how to set the cRIO chassis and modules in sleep mode.  

This "sleep mode" works only for the chassis (FPGA) therfore you will have implement "Wake on Lan" functionality in the Real Time part yourself.

There already is a Produkt suggestion for this feature so it may be implemented in the Future. 

As far as i know there aint no C Series module providing a Capacitor huge enough to power the System for a few seconds.

But you can use standard Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to power the System when the line voltage is missing.
