NI CRIO - 9075

[iluha]

I want to start working with NI CRIO - 9075, starting with configurations inside of NI MAX: the first error i receive is inside Troubleshoot Remote System Discovery, i am selecting my remote system and then inside of the software compatibility it shows not programming with labView. the second error is inside the labview when i start i new blank project, then new targets and devices - Existing target or device - discover an existing target(s) or device (s) - Real Time CompactRIO - this device is not supported by your labview enviorment. how can i solve this to errors?????

The cRIO9075 is old and is only supported by old LabVIEW versions. (See this article to check version compatibility on your own.)

So the question is: which LabVIEW version do you want to use?

The last LabVIEW version that supports the cRIO-907x is LabVIEW 2019SP1. The last NI CompactRIO software than can be used with this cRIO is 19.6.

So you will need to download the older versions of both software packages and install them.

In the Compatibility Page linked above for cRIO-9075, it says in the Notes: 1. These modules can only be used with 64-bit software, if the bitfile used has been compiled in 32-bit software (see image below). What does this mean? 

I have an old bitfile compiled with LabVIEW 2012SP1 FPGA. Will I be able to reuse the Bitfile if I create the calling Windows & Real-Time Executables in 2018SP1? I ask because I don't have the FPGA source for the BitFile that was created in LV2012 years ago, so cannot upgrade the BitFile to 2018. 

Thanks for any tips.

It's kind of misleading. Since LabVIEW 2023 or thereabout, LabVIEW Realtime and FPGA is also available in 64 bit LabVIEW. Your LabVIEW 2018 SP1 version has no FPGA and real-time support for 64-bit LabVIEW so you will have have 32-bit LabVIEW installed anyways. And yes if you have the compiled bitfile it most likely will still work but there might be gotchas, so there are no guarantees.

Thank you, I understand now. I will give this configuraton a try and let you know how that worked (LV20183-32 WIN and RT executables with a 2012 bitfile).
