CFP-2220 with LV7.1

I recently purchased a cFP-2220 controller. I am running LabVIEW 7.1, the controller shipped with Fieldpoint 6.0.1.
I had Fieldpoint 5.0.1 installed - it could not see the controller. So, I installed 6.0.1 - the controller was visible with an IP of 0.0.0.0, as normal and allowed me to configure the IP. However, now I don't have support for LabVIEW Realtime 7.1.
All of my code and tools are built in Realtime 7.1 and I don't want to be forced into switching to 8.x. Is there a way to get my controller to work with Realtime 7.1? 
Note: I have not had this issue with the cFP-2120 controllers that I had been using.

Yes, Ravens Fan is right it is just technical impossible to support new RT operating systems for old LabVIEW development versions. The data sheet for the 22xx cFP controller clearly states that LabVIEW 8.5 or later is required.
You have two options from here. Talk to your sales representative to change to a 21xx series controller or upgrade to LV 8.6.

  • Can not see cFP-2220 after creating an exe file

    I am using a cFP-2220 with LabView 2011. I can see the cFP-2220 with Max, the program I created runs in my PC but the data from the cFP-2220 it is slow to up date.
    I access the cFP-2220 thru the network terminal and a net card in my PC.
    I have created an EXE file to run in the PC for that test stand as a stand along program. The program runs but it does not see the cFP-2220 or any of the data been collected. The test stand PC does have MAX install. When I run MAX in the stand PC it sees the cFP-2220 and can read the data from the modules the PC is wire to the cFP-2220 thru a net card.

    Sorry for the delay to respond... I do have installed the minimun files that are available  Field Piont 6.0.10 and LabView RT 11 is part of them.
    I also using share variables. The program VI runs fine in my PC but when I create the exe file and deploy on the test stand it asks fot the location of the FPLV,dll and the NI_TGT.dll and it can not read or write to any of the DAQmx vi's.
    I accidently remove one my FP-SG-140 from the list of inputs, I did put it back but I damage how the share variables weere working I am getting and error -1950679023 and it does not see any of my inputs.
    I have another question how do I down load the variables to the cFP-2220 that is another erros that shows up when I installed other files into the cFP.

  • CFP-2220 using digital output for status to another cFP-2220

    I have two cfp-2220 that I want to connect with each other using the DIO's of 5V that they have.
    The problem that I have is that I don't know the impedance to connect the CFP2220-1 Digital Output 1 to a relay for switching the CFP2220-2 Digital Input 1.
    I am using a relay for interfacing the signal. This relay needs 34mA 5V to operate. I am not sure if the CFP2220 would have the needed power to turn the relay on and to close the contact that will operate the CFP2220-2 Digital Input 1. In the user manual of the CFP2220 does not mention anything about it.
    Thank you!

    Solved!

    Hi ggarza:
    Here is the current specification for the digital outputs on the 2220: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0147137D2442E4A9862572C100758895?OpenDocument. As you can see there, it only supports 3mA, so it would not be possible to use this relay. In addition to this, you should be careful using this outputs, as the manual specifies they are not isolated.

  • Annoying issue with LV7

    I found out I can not input the character # (ASCII code 35) with LV 7:
    - on a string control the character is simply not typed
    - on the diagram typing # seems to be a shortcut for enabling the grid alignment.
    I'm using an italian keyboard.
    This issue occurs only with LV7.
    Thanks,
    Alberto

    Hi Alberto,
    A friend of mine was telling me that he had problems with control charaters and LV7. I tried his code and it was fine on my machine. He found a workaround and we never found the source of the mystery.
    As for myself, I now see a strange behavior with LV7.
    It closes itself while I wire-up a new vi... >(
    It happened twice yesterday... -strange-
    My LV7 was solid until then...

  • CFP-2220 USB access in Labview

    I have a LabVIEW program (Labview 2012) running deployed on a CFP-2220 (Field Point version 6.0.11). The program creates a log file that is saved to a USB drive connected to the CFP. I was wondering if there was a way in Labview to access this file (say once a day) and transfer it to the computer the CFP is connected to while the program is running (as the program will be running continuously).  
    If it is easier, I could also write the file directly to the CFP's hard drive.

    Hi,
    You have a few options.
    To access the files on the drive from Windows follow the instructions in this documentation: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6245C8EEB74984F786256BA40052D992?OpenDocument
    If you want to run something on the cFP to transfer the files you will need to have a FTP server to connect to: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9a004cf5241f3cb68625779e004ee159?OpenDocument
    An example of how to transfer the files automatically from the target can be found here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-15379
    If you want to transfer the files from a process on your host computer you can access the target from the same FTP information as in the first link above and use the FTP VI's to do it.
    Hopefully this points you in the right direction!

  • WebServer problem on cfp-2220

    I've seen older posts on this, but not a solution.  I cannot get the web server to run on my cfp-2220.  I have set it up in the configuration, tried several ports, deployed and rebooted many times.  When I try to create the web service, no servers show up on the Servers page in the web service's properties (Error:  No Configured Servers Support Web Services).
    I have installed:
    LabVIEW 8.6.1
    Fieldpoint 6.0.5
    LabVIEW Real-Time 8.6.1
    Runtime Engine for Web Services 1.0.0
    Windows XP SP2
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Solved the problem by reinstalling the software on the cfp from a host that had Runtime Engine for Web Server 1.0.1.

  • How to configure a compact Fielpoint to time server IP (LabVIEW 2013, cFP-2220, NI Fieldpoint 6.1, MAX 5.5.1)?

    Hi all,
    in old MAX versions there was a field, where one can type a time server computer's IP number to synchronize a Fieldpoint controller. How I can perform that in new environment? I can't find it neither in MAX, nor in system configuration.
    Thank you,
    Armen

    Hi Armen,
    I have suggested the following to one of my customers who had brought this up.
    The Time Server option will not be available in MAX 5.5, but may be readded in the future versions. But, there is a work around for this, where you can set the IP address of the Time Server to the cFP.
    1. Open Windows Explorer>>Type ftp:\\10.X.X.X (IP address of the cFP) in the address field >>Enter. This will open a window that displays the files on the cFP.
    2. Now, you will find ni-rt.ini file here, copy and paste it on your PC desktop.
    3. Open this ini file on the desktop using notepad and you will find Time_Server=10.0.0.1. So, change this to the IP address of the Time Server that you will be assigning. Save and close the ini file and copy and replace it in the cFP files, where you originally copied it from.
    4. Restart the cFP by right click the cFP in MAX>>Restart.
    5. Now, the cFP has been assigned the Time Server.
    6. Start the NI Time Service on your PC by following the information in the Help Tab in MAX>>Remote Systems>>select cFP detected.
    I have confirmed that the Time Server has been assigned to the cFP.
    Firstly, I did the above procedure and set the Time Server using my PC, which has MAX 5.5.
    Then, I have a Test PC with old MAX 4.6 and related cFP drivers. Here, when I opened the detected cFP I can see the Time Server under the Network Settings Tab, which was configured with the IP address I have set in the ini file. So, this proves that this works.
    So, kindly try the above and see if this helps to resolve the issue you are observing.

  • LV8 upgrade for cFP-2120 with LVRT 7.1

    We need to update the embedded software for cFP-2120 units distributed to customers.  The units are shipped with LVRT 7.1 and the embedded programs are written in LV 7.1.   We have installed LV 8.  Can we update the LV 7.1 programs to LV 8 and then update the embedded programs on the cFP-2120?

    You need to do a couple things first.  You need to perform a Mass Compile on all of your VIs to update them to LabVIEW 8.0.  Also, you need to update your cFP-2120 to RT 8.  Once you have done this, you can update the VIs on the cFP with the 8.0 ones.  Here are a couple of links to help you out.

  • Connect CFP-2000 with Measurement Studio

    Hi, I haven't understood how to connect a CFT-2000 module with Measurement Studio and VC++.
    Can any one help me to find documentation and sample related this task?
    I'm  interested into this topics:
    - is it possible to manage a CFT-2000 ethernet device with MAX? In ordere to use that device can i use DAQmx?
    - which  kind of data I will recive over ethernet raw, scaled..
    - is it possible to select one particular board of AI?
    - is it possible to execute multiple applictions (LabView and  Measeurement Studio) connected with the same CFTP-2000 controller into one PC?
    Thanks

    Dear Bobby60,
    First of all I suggest you this FAQ.
    You can connect and configure cFP 2000 from MAX through NI-Field Point and Labview Real Time.
    You have to use Labview Real Time to program an application on the cFP 2000.
    Comms to Labview and Measurement Studio can be realized through OPC Shared Variable and TCP/IP. In the last option you will have to program your own server in labview RT and deal with multiple client stuff.
    Best Regards

  • Ethernet communication problem after upgrading to cfp-2220

    My application, which communicate with external power supply with ethernet interface and based on TCP Communicator from NI Examples was running fine with cFP2120 and LabVIEW RT 8.51. After upgrade to cFP2220 it fails to talk with device. What could be wrong? Should I change some timing settings with faster processor?

    When the distributed system manager looses it's connection to the RT system it is a pretty good indicator that the TCP thread has been suspended.
    Just becase you don't see the graph spike up does not mean that the CPU did not quickly spike and just cut everything TCP related off.
    I would go through my code a little at a time and try disabling particular parts to see if there is one function in particular that seems to be the culprit. The first place I would look is any driver the cFP uses to communicate to an external bus. Putting some logging operations in your RT code may also give you some idea as to what is going on, however you need to relize that logging to the disk will take a significant amount of CPU time.
    Lastly....and I should have mentioned this first...is to turn on the console monitoring (DIP switch on the top of the controller). Connect a PC with Hyperterminal or other emulator running to the RS232 port on the top of the controller to monitor the console messages coming out. You can write messages to the console window in your code so you have an idea as to what is executing at what time. I believe that you may also be able to see the CPU usage from that window, although this may only be available on the PXI RT controllers.
    I find the RT controllers particularly difficult to debug when you run into these problems because as soon as the issue occurs, the RTOS cuts the development system off and you have no more visibility.

  • How do I use an existing cfp program with a new unit?

    I have an existing compact fieldpoint setup (IAK file & Programs) that I would like to install on a new unit.  How can this be achieved?

    Hi DavK.  Unfortunately there can be a lot of 'well, that depends' in how you go about moving an application
    to a new FieldPoint controller.  The following is based on the assumption that you do not have the development
    environment available; if you do, it is probably easier to just recompile targeting the new controller.
    The exe is fairly easy:
    1) ftp into the controller
    2) cd to ni-rt\startup
    3) rename startup.exe or startup.rtexe to 'something else'
    4) delete 'something else'
    5) ftp in the new startup.exe or startup.rtexe
    6) ftp in any supporting files (i.e. for external calls)
    7) in c:\ni-rt.ini set  RTTarget.ApplicationPath=c:\ni-rt\startup\startup.exe (or .rtexe)
    8) in c:\ni-rt.ini set RTTarget.LaunchAppAtBoot=True
    The .iak setting is probably easiest to re-create with MAX, rather than copy in.
    The depends part comes in with how the I/O channels were named or referenced in the .exe.  As long
    as everything was done in a generic (consistent between controllers) way you could be ok.
    My guess is that if you have trouble it will be here.
    Hope that helps.

  • Blue screen of death with LV7.0 Eval version

    I had been programming for a couple weeks with no problems, trying to see whether or not Labview could handle the data acquisition requirements that we need for our software. Specifically, I was a little concerned that LV maybe be too "high level" to run fast enough for us. We're acquiring 2 analog voltage signals and an edge counter for X, Y and Z position values and streaming them into an intensity graph to get a picture of our scanned object. I had been using the DAQ Assistant VI to do the acquisition, which understably contains quite a bit of overhead, but the acquisition rate seemed to be okay (around 400Hz while streaming points into a 200x200 array on a DAQCard-6036E). I wasn't quite done the interpolation routine though and was afraid that would slow it down some more.
    On Monday I got my first BSOD just a couple seconds after starting my program after using the software for hours. I brushed it off as a fluke and rebooted. Yesterday late in the afternoon I got another one after working on it and testing all day, but this time it never dumped the physical memory (it just hung). Much more concerning, I got a third one today upon just loading up Labview and trying to run my program for the first time. I took down the error message as:
    IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL
    STOP:0X000000A(0X6D665346,0X0000002,0X0000001,0X80519E8C)
    I rebooted, and upon trying to load windows, I got a message that SYSTEM was corrupt. Our IT guy came by and rebooted again, which seemed to work alright. But then when he rebooted again we got -another- one with no "IRQL" statement. I did manage to get it going again by rebooting for a 3rd time.
    What worries me is that this is getting progressively worse. For weeks I seemed to be able to tinker at will with the software and do all sorts of neat stuff and it didn't give me any errors. I haven't installed anything new this week at all, and suddenly it's crapping out faster and faster.
    I'm using (or was, until I uninstalled everything for safety) LV Eval version installed on NI-DAQ 7.0 with a Toshiba TE2100 laptop (P4, 2GHz, 256meg). Are there any known issues with version 7.0? I had tried installing the Eval version (I guess it's really called "Express") on NI-DAQ 7.2, but the DAQ Assistant never showed up in the menu. After a few calls to NI tech support, I tried version 7.3 and it still wasn't there (and if you're new at LV, you NEED the DAQ Assistant), so I tried 7.0 and it worked fine.
    I've attached my program. It's disorganized, yes, but it does the job. Any ideas?

    Hi Tyler,
    I'm using WinXP Pro, and I haven't tried the program on another computer yet. The tricky thing is that it's one of those intermittent problems. So I could install it on someone else's computer and have it run fine for weeks, then crash on the last day. The BSOD did not identify any particular problem file, only the IRQ error and that it was dumping physical memory. I know they sometimes give you the exact file that the problem occurred in, but not in my case.
    I did a fair amount of searching through this forum and in general regarding Labview and conflicts with other software. I found one message from a couple years ago on another forum regarding BSOD's, and one reply asked "You're not using Sophos virus checker, are you?". Coincidentally, this is the only thing that had been installed on my computer since installing Labview. However, it was installed about 2 weeks prior to the first BSOD. Something I forgot to mention was that my laptop was taking suspiciously long to boot up. I could type in my name and password and come back 5 minutes later and it would still be loading my desktop. It wasn't until I physically removed the DAQ card and then rebooted that I saw it return to normal. I then uninstalled all NI software and reinstalled everthing, this time going with the 7.3.1 drivers. On Friday I also disabled Sophos virus checker for one day. So far it's run error-free today (even with Sophos re-enabled), and my computer booted up normal speed even with the DAQ left in it over the weekend. However, for the first time, Labview crashed on me today (performed illegal operation... do you want to send error report to microsoft etc...).
    I sure hope the problems I'm having aren't indicative of the normal operation of the software. It's been amazing to program with so far, and its unbelievably powerful, but if BSOD's and mysterious crashes are the norm, it's going to be worse than our current software (which in itself isn't very good).
