cRio-9073 setup problems

[klir]

Hi!

I am trying to install a new cRio-9073 in a test rig that had the same model cRio but stopped working.

Since documentation is poor I have had to play around with which drivers I install to see what error code the labview code generates when run.

I made good progress but was unexpectedly set back and now I don't know how to go forward.

Note: The labview project uses the cRio FPGA but not the RT I have been instructed. I have had to recompile and add the bitfile with the NI RIO Device setup but during my debugging have not written exactly when I have done I, sorry about that. This bitfile has woked with the old cRio.)

To clarify what I have done:

1. Configured the cRio so it has a know IP adress and succefully connect to it, in NI Max over a switch.

2. Installed NI CompactRIO 15.0 August 2015 pack with quite a handfull add ons.

I did this a few time with varying result, all resulting in different errors.

This made me relize that the memory is only 60 mb and the cRio couldn't install everthing.

3. Formated the disc and reinstalled CompactRIO 15.0 Aug.. plus NI System Configuration for LV RT 15.0.0 and NI Serial TR 15.0.0

It gave me error message 63184 at niLvFpga_Open_cRio-9073 bitfile req drivers...

4. Installed NI Scan engine 4.4 and NI Rio I/O Scan 15.0 without removing of existing drivers.

This gave error 61201.. Possible reason : The chassis is in Scan interface...

5. I deployed the chassi throught my labview project to FPGA interface.

This resulted in error 1073807346.. DeviceCriver.lvlib:UserData_GetRS485Adress..

6. I installed NI-Serial 9870 and 9871 scan engine support since I have the NI 9870 module in the cRio.

This resulted in error 356005 in IO.lvclas readVaribleinfo.. Possible reason: Labview WebServices cannot connect...

7. I install I/O variable remote conf. web service and Run time engine for web services 15.0.0

This resulted in the GUI starting up. (It died a second later but that was because a time out from one instrument that was not connected. So it made sence and all is good I thought)

Now as I thougt everthing was good I stopped taking notes.

But when I tried to run the code again some time later I was set back to step 5 error message regarding RS 485.

After that I tried to format and redo all step I had done before but I cannot get past step 5.

The instrument the error message referd to in step 5 has been on and and untouched throughout this process (I have double checked this).

Installing all of these drivers almost fills the memory. It takes 50 mb out of 60 mb.

Could anyone please help me out here?

I just don't know what to do.

Best Regards

It could be a lot of things that are causing the error. 

If you are installing the bit file through RIO Device Setup, do you have all modules inserted in the correct slot?

Do you have all the required drivers?

The LabVIEW RT removed some VIs that check the status of the RT CPU since version 2013, so if your application is using those VIs you need older version of LabVIEW. 

I would imagine you are missing some important driver and hence you are not able to connect to some module.

Hi!

I have solved the problem.
One instrument was not connected to the same power source as the rest so when I power cycled the rig that instrument didn't power cycle. After I found it and power cycled it, I could start as expected to the gui.
