Hi,
I have developed an application on RT for controlling a climate chamber with wind tunnel and add-on refrigerant circuit device. The chamber is eqipped with cRIO -9067 and 2 ethercat chassis NI-9145. Third NI-9145 is in stand alone refrigerant device. There are 3 diferent refrigerant devicesavaliable and user connect always only one of them, depending what measurement wants to perform. But all 3 devices had the same card configurations. So I had only one RT application with different regulations and sequences which run on specific device. Which device is connected, is identified by combination of 2 binary inputs. Now I am going to add some binary inputs/outputs and analog inputs to one of the device, so number of card in chassi need to be increased. I will add one NI9476 and change one of NI9217 for NI9216. The remaining two devices will be untached. Now I will have two HW different devices which can be connected. Is there a possibility to make a code which will deploy right HW configuration based on type of connected device?
Thank you, Jan

Hello JanBarton,
Please review this article it should help you find out automate detection the cRIO modules: Programmatically Find Information of the cRIO Modules
and based on this you should be able to implement your project.
Best Regards.
