Setting up a new signal input from remote slave Modbus on cRIO

[smcgeown]

Hi, I am trying to setup a pressure transducer using LabVIEW 2019 and a remote connected cRIO-9045, the transducer is connected to a daisy chained slave bay NI9144 with a NI9205. The hardware and the existing system was setup by a previous team and all existing inputs appear to be setup as variables in both the LabVIEW library and the NI Distributed System Manager. I have tried using the DAQ assistant to setup up the signal but no channels were found. There was no notes left on how to setup new signals so any help would be appreciated.

NI-9144 is an EtherCAT Slave chassis. You cannot use DAQmx driver. See Setting Up EtherCAT on NI Programmable Controllers to read the IO on NI-9144 from cRIO-9045.
