Hi Takahashi_Haruo,
There are a couple things that I can think may be going on (in addition to Paul's comments).
First one, are you looking to the proper Add Target & Devices? In
order to discovery a cRIO controller (e.g. cRIO-9002) you need to
select the root item in the LV Project tree (the "Project: My Project
Name" item), right-click and select New>>Targets and Devices...
on it. After you do that, you must see "Real-Time CompactRIO" as an
option you can expand. If you don't see that option, then software is
not properly installed (although from the screenshot you posted your
installation seems correct). Attached is a screenshot of what you
should be seeing.
Second option assumes you see the "Real-time CompactRIO" option and it
just does not discover your controller. In this case, discovery may not
work due networking issues (firewalls, controller in a different
subnetwork, incorrect controller network settings, ...). To see if this
is the problem (and to workaround the discovery protocol not finding
the controller), do the following:
- Right-click the project tree item (root item) >> New >> Targets and Devices...
- Select the "Existing device on remote subnet" option
- Expand the "Real-Time CompactRIO" category (if you don't see this,
then you are either in the wrong Add Targets and Devices or the
installation is incomplete)
- Select your controller type (in this case cRIO-9002), enter the
controller's IP address in the bottom left corner of the dialog and
click OK.
- A cRIO controller item will be created in the project and you should
be able to connect to it in case the IP and the network settings on the
controller are correct.
Hope this helps.
