Configuring Your System
The cRIO-9805 functions as an Ethernet switch for an out-of-the-box NI TSN system. The
following sections describe the most common topologies created with a cRIO-9805.
Note You can use other network devices as nodes in your Ethernet system, but the
system may not provide the advantages of an NI TSN system.
Host Can be a Windows computer or a real-time controller with the NI Linux Real-
Time operating system, such as the IC-317x, cRIO-9035/9039 Sync,
cRIO-904x, cRIO-905x, or cDAQ-913x for LabVIEW Real-Time.
Node Can be the cDAQ-9185, cDAQ-9189, or any FieldDAQ device.
cRIO-9805 Ethernet switch.
Note Network configuration and programming require careful consideration. Visit
ni.com/r/cdaqenet for information about exploiting link redundancy and
automatically improving reliability.
Creating a Basic Topology
The cRIO-9805 is configured to work in this topology out of the box. Most systems should
follow this topology. The host communicates directly with each node through the external
switch.
Figure 6. Basic Topology
Node

Host cRIO-9805

Expanding Your System
You can daisy-chain your system starting from each node connected to the switch. The host
communicates directly with all the nodes in one chain through one bus line. A standard
Ethernet device or switch can be added to the end of the chain if desired and used as normal.
Be aware that these devices will compete for network bandwidth with the controller. Reliable
system design requires awareness of the bandwidth consumed by each device during
operations. This topology offers no redundant links.

Advantages:
• Simple and inexpensive installation, expansion, and troubleshooting.
• Ideal for low number of nodes. NI recommends a maximum of 15 nodes per chain.
• No additional switch needed.
• Can cover long distances.
Disadvantages:
• Any unpowered nodes and/or node failure disrupts network communication.
• Addition or removal of any node disrupts network communication.
• Failure of any Ethernet cable and/or improper cable termination disrupts network
communication.
• Network performance and synchronization affected when node count exceeds 15 per
chain.
Adding Redundancy
To add redundancy, you can connect an additional Ethernet cable to the last node of a daisy
chain and reconnect that cable back to the switch. In this topology, the host communicates
with all nodes through the most effective path. You must configure the network properly
before creating redundant links in the network.

Advantages:
• Failure of any single Ethernet cable does not disrupt network communication.
• Additional nodes or heavier network traffic affects network performance less than the line
topology.
• Simple installation.
• Ideal for a local networking solution.
Disadvantages:
• Network traffic patterns can make troubleshooting difficult.
• Only allows one chain per switch. Requires more switches to configure larger systems.
