fpga and cRIO watchdog

[LW42]

Good morning,

I created a project containing a cRIO and three different vis, host, real time and FPGA. Most of the modules are running on “Scan engine mode” and the main code is running on the RT target (the real time vi will be used as startup vi). However, the module NI 9476-DO is running on FPGA mode since my application includes PID control. What I want to do is adding a very simple watchdog which I want to detect possible Ethernet cable disconnection and close the DO channels. Please note that I am using LabVIEW 8.6.1. Could you please help me with this?

Thank you in advance

Hi Thorfano,

I think I may have found a tutorial that might help you.  This example shows how to implement a uni-directional network watchdog.

Dear jareds,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, the code proposed is written in LabVIEW 9 and I am using LabVIEW 8.6.1.

Best regards

Here's 8.6 versions of the VIs.
