Is it possible to map EL2809 using LabVIEW?

[Josh_T]

I'm currently new to LabVIEW and I would like to solve this question. I'm using cRIO-9022 and EtherCAT EK1100 with EL 2809. Is it possible to map EL 2809 using LabVIEW? Or do I need to use other software like workvisual?

Generally speaking, you need the following software installed on your host PC:

LabVIEW

LabVIEW Real-Time

CompactRIO

EtherCAT

You also need to install EtherCAT to cRIO-9022. Please refer to the following manuals for more details:

For third party slaves, I would recommend having a test on the compatibility.
