Here is a good link with an overview of the cRIO architecture:

The FPGA backplane (where the modules are) connects to the RT controller via a PCI bus. There are interrupt, polling, and DMA schemas for data transfers, signaling and related communications between the FPGA LabVIEW code and the RT LabVIEW code.
