CFP2000 Fieldpoint 6.0.3 download

I'm looking to repurpose a cFP2000. Also, I'm having trouble verifying the software requirements for my cFP2000, I'm using LabVIEW 8.5 RT and have Fieldpoint 6.0.4.
Can I get a copy of Fieldpoint 6.0.3 ?
The project I generate using wants the following and I see that 6.0.4 lacks it here.

Communicating to FieldPoint from HP-UX

Has anyone out there been able to communicate from HP-UX to FieldPoint modules? I have seen the technique of putting a program on the FP-2000 module that will talk TCP/IP. Is there any other solution?

Mike,
At the present time, the only way to communicate from an HP-UX machine directly to a FieldPoint Ethernet module would be to use a FP-20XX series module and use either the TCP VI's or the UDP VI's. For the FieldPoint Serial Network modules you may communicate using the Optomux command set as documented in the FP-1000/1001 Programmers Reference Manual. If you are using LabVIEW on HP-UX, you should be able to use the LabVIEW FieldPoint Optomux VI's downloadable from:

How to Update Comment List in Reader

I have written a plug-in that manages user annotations. The issue that I have is I am able to manipulate the annotations on the page, but the information in the Comment List does not update. Is there a seperate array for what shows up in the comment list or is there a call that I can make to refresh the comment list?
Any assistance is very much appreciated.

Hello,
I've just installed FieldPoint Driver 5.0 downloaded from NI website but the RLY 421 is still not in the device list ...
Before starting to develop I thought I should update my drivers so I got the latest FP Driver version, but since I'm still using LV 7.1 maybe I shall unistall FP Driver 5.0 and re-install 4.1 and see if it works ?

How to update device list in MAX ?

Hi all,
I'm running MAX 4.0.3 and trying to declare cFP module (that I still haven't received).
I'm expecting :
2 RLY 421 modules,
1 AI 111,
1 DO 401,
they'll be connected to a cFP 2020.
The thing is when I try to add a device I have to select from a list but RLY 421 is not in that list..
How can I update MAX's device list ??

Embeded VI's accessing modules via the built-n rs232 port on the FP2010

I have an FP-2010 module. I want the targeted VI's on the FP-2010 to talk via the built in RS232 port to a FP-1000 and then to the modules on that bank. Is this possible and how?

Michael,
Unfortunately, at the current time, the standard FieldPoint VI's (FP Open.vi, FP Create Tag.vi, etc...) will only work to talk to the FieldPoint I/O modules that are directly connected to the FP-20XX. In order to control a FP-1000/1001 system via the serial port of the FP-20XX, you should use the FieldPoint Optomux VI's. These VI's correspond to the Standard and Extended Optomux Command sets as documented in the FP-1000/1001 Progammers Reference Manual. The manual can be downloaded from:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/321632c.pdf
The FieldPoint Optmux VI's will be installed automatically with FieldPoint Explorer 3.0 or later if LabVIEW RT 6.0.3 (or later) is on the machine. Otherwise, they can be installed by doing a custom install of FieldPoint Explo
rer or downloading from:
ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/fieldpoint/LVFPOpto/
Personally, I have used the VI's to control multiple FP-1000/1001's without difficulty from my FP-20XX modules.

Compact Fieldpoint Item Names were not downloaded

Hola buen día,
Tengo un equipo Compact Fieldpoint que recientemente formatee, ahora que estoy intentando programarlo nuevamente le estoy cargando un archivo de configuracion *.iak Al abrir este archivo me detecta la configuración si problemas pero al guardar la configuración y tratar de descargarla al controlador me aparece el error:
Your Configuration File Has been saved. However, Items names were not downloaded to the following cFP-xxxx : CARACOL
Quisisera saber si hay alguna causa que origine este error que me impide configurar mi equipo.
Por otra parte cuando abro el equipo desde el MAX (Measurement and Automation) no se despliega la capacidad de memoria usada y disponible del equipo (adjunto imagen).
Saludos y ojalá puedan ayudarme a solucionarlo

Hola lenin_7.
Podría deberse a un problema cuando se instaló el software o se formateó el controlador. El warning que te aparece dice que no pudo cargar las configuraciones del .iak a algunos de los archivos .ini en el Compact FieldPoint.
Pudieras revisar el archivo fpbank.ini en la carpeta de ni-rt/startup del Fieldpoint? Para acceder al ftp tienes que escribir ftp://<ip del cfp> en la barra del explorador de Windows.
Ese archivo debe tener algunos nombres escritos, y si los borras manualmente y vuelves a descargar el iak file se deben volver a escribir.
También me podrías decir si ya intentaste volver a formatear e instalarle el software al Compact Fieldpoint?
Saludos!

100 hz data acquisition on fieldpoint cfp2000/2200 on xp

Hi , I want to read data from AI on cfp2200/2000 series on win-xp . But my data is getting duplicate , Can any body give any sample application for reading data at 100 hz or higher. .

I better explain my problem in the thread How to timestamp continuous analog data acquisition using USB-6009 and GPS timing board?
We are considering to use the PCI-1588 or a GPS timing board (low-profile slot too), but I´m not sure that the USB-6009 can be used to solve the problem.
How to syncronize the data acquisition and timestamps using USB-6009 and PCI-1588 with external GPS?
In other thread I would appreciate any suggestions for GPS timing board and PCI-1588 too.

Labview: resource not found ; Specifically a VI located in my LV 8.2 Project I am trying to download to my FP-2000 and run.

Hi,
I am fairly new to the LV Project method of building executable files and embeded applications.
I have been using LV 7.2 for the last few years and finally switched over to 8.2 this last summer.
My problem is that I have an embedded application that I need to troubleshoot, but every time I try and run it from my desktop, it hits me with one of these messages:
Deploying MPPT-Testbed (successfully deployed target settings)
Deploying ErrorConvert.vi (already deployed)
Deploying FP Close(IO).vi
Failed to download FP Close(IO).vi
LabVIEW: Resource not found.
LabVIEW: Resource not found.
The FP Close(IO).vi is the latest issue, I have had other files that have failed to load as well. I have attempted to make a common folder for all of my shared VIs, I have 6 FP-2000 controllers.
Any ideas?
I run LV 8.2 w/RT on my desktop, my FP-2000 is running LV 8.2, FP Drivers 5.2.0 and FP VI Manager 4.1.0
-Bill

Hi Bill,
Since you produced code in a previous version of LabVIEW, and therefore previous FieldPoint driver version, you will need to revamp your code a little to be able to use it in LV 8.2 with FieldPoint 5.0. I'm assuming that the FP Close.vi is not available in the palette that is not available in LabVIEW 8.2. This is expected, as FieldPoint 5.0 utilizes different VIs than previous versions. Accordingly, you do not need to use the FP Open or FP Close VIs, as they are not available in this driver version. However, you only need to use a Browse I/O Point and either a FP Read, FP Write or FP Read/Write. Generally, a quick modification of your code will take care of this problem. Let us know if you need help with this; a screenshot of your code might be helpful. Thanks!

Fieldpoint Hardware Drivers that are compatible with LV 8.5 and Windows Vista

I trying to develop in LabVIEW for some Fieldpoint hardware. I was going to download the hardware drivers from NI, but only see drivers that are compatible with Windows XP and LV 8.2
Or, am I just misinterpreting this?
Also, are there any potential conflicts with me developing on Vista, if my end-user, is uding another OS?
Daddy-O
One should welcome adversity as an opportunity to excel.

Hi Daddy-O,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. This is a little misleading, and unfortunately the driver you are looking for is currently not directly searchable. In order to use your FieldPoint hardware with LabVIEW 8.5 and Windows Vista, you will need the FieldPoint 6.0 driver. This can be found within the disk that is distributed with new FieldPoint hardware, and any Device Drivers CD from August 2007 forward. Unfortunately, a standalone installer is not available for this driver, and if you do not have a hard copy of the Device Drivers, you can download this here. From this installer, you should be able to select FieldPoint 6.0 and install this software.
I hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can clarify. Have a great day!

Using Fieldpoint from Labview RT on a PXI System

I have a PXI system with Labview RT (PXI 8186 controller with LVRT ver 7.1).
I wanted to connect a FP remote I/O system to this controller. The Fieldpoint system I have has a FP-1000 RS-232 Network module.
I was hoping to be able to connect the FP-1000 to the serial port of the PXI-8186, and use the standard Fieldpoint VIs to write/read data (as you would from a Windows-based Labview app).
It doesn't seem to be that easy, trying to download any code with a Fieldpoint VI down to my RT target gives an error ("failed to load shared library FPLVMgr.dll on RT target device"). Looking through MAX I see that Fieldpoint drivers are not loaded on the RT target, and there is no option to load them there either.
So: Ho
w do I control my Fieldpoint units from my PXI System using Labview RT?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravid

Hi, Ravid.
Effectively, under LabVIEW RT, you cannot use the standard FieldPoint VIs to communicate to a FieldPoint module, since they are not supported. If you have a serial module, like the FP-1000 or FP-1001, you need to use Optomux commands to interface and communicate to it. You can find great examples on how to do the communication in the Example Finder of LabVIEW >> Hardware Input and Output >> FieldPoint >> Optomux >> and use any of the examples that use VISA to communicate to the modules. To run the examples, first target LabVIEW to your 8186 and open the example. Before running it, match the baud rate and address specified in your FP-1000 with the controls in the Front Panel. Also, verify that you have either an alias defined for COM1, or use AS
RL::INSTR1 for the VISA resource name. You will need to have VISA RT installed on your RT Target to be able to run this examples.
You can find the Optomux commands in LabVIEW under the Advanced FieldPoint palette. For more information on Optomux commands, you can take a look at the FP-1000/1001 Programmer Reference Manual
Let me know if you have further questions. I hope this helps!

Can I use the database toolset within a fieldpoint vi?

I want to be able to read and write to a database on our network using the database toolset. My vi works under windows but does not under fieldpoint. (does not run at all). I've included (loaded) the template while building the executable. As well I've include the udl support file to access the database

Ola,
If I was designing this system I would use a shared variable which contains the name of the last data file written by the FieldPoint. The PC would monitor that name and when it changes, use the FTP VIs to download it to the PC. The PC VI would then parse the text file and insert into the SQL database.
Using a lock file or a Boolean Data Ready? flag would also be very valid approaches.
Depending on how fast you are acquiring data you might be able to do away with the intermediate text file. Another possible approach would be to use the TCP VIs to effectively stream the data from the FieldPoint back to the PC where it can be inserted into the database.

Need an opinion about FieldPoint RT Communication

The system I am controlling with compact Field Point consists of the chamber (initially filled with air), turbo pump (below), valve on the right of turbo pump, scroll pump below.
The I/O boards installed in FP are : DO-403, RLY-421, DI-301, DI-330.
I use:
- DO-403 to close and open the valve
- RLY-421 to start/stop turbo pump
- DI-301 to read the signal from multi-gauge (high/low) for 3 set points
- DI-330 to read signal from turbo pump (high/low) that tells me if the pump is in starting/normal operation
The process starts by turning the Scroll pump On and when the pressure in the pipe between turbo pump and scroll pump drops below setpoint 1 the Chamber2.vi will open the valve. The scroll contin
ues to pump the air out and when the pressure drops below set point 2 I start the turbo pump. Now both pumps are pumping the air out together and the pressure will start to decrease rapidly.
The Chamber2.vi is to automize the process of pumping the air put for this system.
I used RT Comm. Wizard and it built three VIs for me.
You can choose to do the same I believe and see what they look like.
I have few things to clear out:
-How does the VI look like from the Real Time point of view? Are there any bigger problems in a way I built it?
-My goal is to build stand-alone application that will be downloaded to FieldPoint. What would be the next step for me to do after I have made a NP VI, TC VI and Host VI? DO I download only Normal Prior. VI to the FP?
-One problem I had with RT Comm. Wizard is that the indicators: valve, pipe and scroll pump are not shown in the list of controls/indicators that you can select to be replaced with RT FIFO. Why is that?
Any suggestions, inputs
, critics will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pedja
one more thing...I have tried to build library with main VI and all subVIs together so that I can attach and post one single file only but I had some problems.
Can you instruct me on how to do this?

Self Reading FieldPoint Configuration

I have multiple compact FieldPoints configured all the same, and I want to create an application that is generic to install on each cFP-2020. How can program it to read it's own config information in order to read it's own module data?

Jordan,
When a FieldPoint RT controller is configured, a file named fpbank.ini is downloaded into the module. The fpbank.ini file contains the names of the devices (modules) and items (channels). If you examine the file, you should be able to determine what type of module is at what location. This file will only provide names, it does not contain the information on how any given channel is configured. However, this should be sufficient for your purposes. I must point out that NI does not provide any sort of guarentees that they will not change the file format in future firmware revisions, so you may need to periodically change your code when NI releases updates, but my personal opinion is that the file format is probably not going to change very much ove
r time.
Regards,
Aaron

Changing fieldpoint settings programmatically?

is there a way to change the channel settings from inside a running RT program? E.g. changing the gain of an input channel or switching from voltage to current input?
So far I only see the option to configure the channels with MAX and once this config is downloaded it seems to be "static".
Thanks!

Hi Bef. Yes, there is a way to do what you are asking. Check out on the palette Measurement I/O -> FieldPoint -> Advanced -> Ethernet Advanced -> Configure Attribute.vi (on my 8.5.1 setup).
I think not all attributes are supported, but maybe what you need is.
