Connecting the cRIO-9031 to Power
The cRIO-9031 requires a 9 V to 30 V external power supply. The cRIO-9031 filters and
regulates the supplied power and provides power for the C Series modules. The cRIO-9031
has a primary power input, V1, and a secondary power input, V2.
The POWER LED on the cRIO-9031 indicates which power input is in use, as shown in the
following table.
Table 2. POWER LED Indicators
LED Color LED Pattern Indication
Green Solid The cRIO-9031 is powered from the V1 input.
Yellow Solid The cRIO-9031 is powered from the V2 input.
— Off The cRIO-9031 is powered off.
Caution Do not connect V2 to a DC mains supply or to any supply that requires a
connecting cable longer than 3 m (10 ft). A DC mains supply is a local DC
electricity supply network in the infrastructure of a site or building.
