For driver information regarding the entire C Series family, including RIO hardware, please see Software Support for CompactRIO, CompactDAQ, Single-Board RIO, R Series, and FlexRIO Devices.

For C Series compatibility with the NI 9151 R Series Expansion Chassis, please refer to AE KB 4IKH40N0: Does the NI 9151 Affect the Performance of my C Series Modules?

** Modules designed for sound and vibration signals use an on-board, high-speed timing source.  Accessing one of these modules using the Scan Mode Interface for CompactRIO will severely limit the frequency input range and may cause higher frequency signals to alias.  The LabVIEW FPGA Module is recommended for sound and vibration measurement with CompactRIO.

*** The NI 9881 CANopen module requires the LabVIEW FPGA module to compile for a specific chassis, but the CANopen API is accessed from the RT program on the host controller.

include 3rd party modules
There are numerous and powerful 3rd party "C Series" modules, please include a link to browse them. I believe all 3rd party modules support the CRIO platform.
