MAX

[AutonomousMode]

Hello Alexander,

I have a CRIo9024+Chassis CRio911-,

I could see both in MAX under remote devices, today morning MAX couldn't find the Chassis anymore, so i also deleted the crio9024, now MAX knows none of them. Remote devices tree is empty, what should i do? why has it happened?

Regards,

Samira

Hello AutonomousMode

1. check the ip from your pc it should like 169.254.xx SubNet 255.255.0.0 if not set one like IP 169.254.5.5 sub net 255.255.0.0
2. set the dip switch ip reset and save mode to on
3. reset the rio
4. the system should now be shown in MAX
5. right click on the Rio in MAX and format the system
6. set the dip switch ip reset and save mode to off
7. restart the system
8. the system should now be shown in MAX
9. Install the RIO software from MAX on the target
10.  check the IP in MAX and write it into your project
11.  then try it again

Hi again,

i wanna control an EtherCAT device with labview. can i control it directly by connecting it to the lan port of the pc or do i have 2 use a master device, eg crio9024?

Cheers

Hello AutonomousMode,

You have to connet the EtherCAT slaves to the second port of your 9024 before you must install the

Industrial Communication for EtherCat software on PC and RIO.

Here you can find a Getting Started With EtherCAT white paper.

Thank you Alexander,

I have already  installed niindcom_ecat230 on windows 7 64 bit, but IndCom for EtheCAT Engine Support doesn't appear in MAX. maybe this newer version work.
