Having problems configuring and testing FieldPoint modules with MAX 3.0.

[MorrisConServ]

I have a FP-1000 and FP-AO-200 connected together. MAX is able to find the FP-1000 and communicate with it. The FP-AO-200 POWER and READY lights are on.

MAX does not find the FP-AO-200 when I invoke "Find Devices". I can manually define it using "Create New Device". When I attempt to test a FP-AO-200 channel using the Write function in "Items Configuration" I get the following error message: "The module or item addressed does not exist".

I am also not able to write to any FP-AO-200 channels in LabVIEW 7.0.

Any ideas what is wrong?

I would check the pins on the FP-1000, between the modules for bent or pushed in pins. Then, I would make sure the AO module is seated correctly in the Terminal Base.

If that's not it, try a different AO module and/or a different TB, to see which is the culprit. The AO module should show up when you do "Find Devices".

Thank you Chad. It turned out both the TP And AO modules were bad. MAX was able to find both a TP and FP-AI-100 module that I plugged into the same terminal bases.
