USB 2.0 Type-C Device Port with Console Out

When operating a device, use this port to connect the cRIO-905x to a host PC. The USB device functionality provides an alternate method to connect the controller to a host PC for configuration, application deployment, debugging, and maintenance.

Console Out over USB requires a virtual COM port driver on the host PC. This driver installs with NI CompactRIO and Drivers[1]1 Version 18.1 and later..

You must enable Console Out on the cRIO-905x in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) or by booting the controller into Safe Mode.

Note This port cannot be accessed by the user application when the Console Out startup option is enabled.

1 Version 18.1 and later.
