Is it possible to simulate EtherCAT devices in a project?

Given a project topology like this:
Windows PC Host  <-> cRIO-9024 <-> NI-9114 backplane <-> NI-9144 EtherCAT #1 <-> NI-9144 EtherCAT #2  run in hybrid scan mode
During development is it possible to tell the project to run without EtherCAT #2 being physically connected, using virtual/simulated IO in place of it?
Just trying it, when I try to switch from Configuration to Active mode, I get an error saying that "the slave device cannot be found".
I often find myself thinking that the project explorer needs a good way to "comment out" various pieces of the project without having to resort to "Remove From Project".

Hi WNM,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to run the project without the ethercat slave device connected.  That does sound like a very useful suggestion though!  I recommend that you post to the NI Idea Exchange with your ideas for this.  http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-Idea-Exchange/ct-p/ideas

  • SP 2013 Development - How can I Simulate Different Devices to Help Design and Test a New UI?

    Hello Community!
    I am working with SharePoint 2013 and I need to be able to design and test a new design across multiple device browsers.  Does anyone know how to simulate a device browser for design and testing?  BTW, I know about Device Channels, and they give
    me a way to dynamically change my UI for different device browsers, but because this UI is complex, I cannot be sure what dynamic changes need to occur until I can simulate the device browsers and view my new UI in them.
    Thanks!

    Hi Tom,
    Because your question is mainly how to simulate different devices, which is more related to SharePoint development, I am moving this thread to
    SharePoint 2013 - Development and Programming forum for better response.

  • Is it possible to simulate "greenbar shading" in SAPScript?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to simulate "greenbar shading" in SAPScript? (NOT SmartForms)
    I'd like to be able to shade alternate rows for easier reading.
    Thx.
    Andy

    It's been a VERY long time since I saw greenbar computer paper...must have been in 1982??  Anyway, here's something you can try.  I don't have a single operating SAPScript output set, due to how SAP is utilized here, so I can't test this....  But, here's what I'd try in the main window.  This might (or, more likely, might not) work.  At least, it passes the SAPScript definition check.
    /:     POSITION XORIGIN '0' CM YORIGIN '0' CM HEIGHT '3' LN INTENSITY 20.
    /:     POSITION XORIGIN '0' CM YORIGIN '3' LN HEIGHT '3' LN INTENSITY 0.
    /:     POSITION XORIGIN '0' CM YORIGIN '6' LN HEIGHT '3' LN INTENSITY 20....and so on.

  • Is it possible to simulate whole java card application on simulator?

    Hello all,
    currently i dont have any real java card yet,not either reader . I already made a simple applet and check its working by CJCRE (net beans simulator), it is working fine,
    now i want to move to host application which will communicate with java card via card reader. Is this possible to simulate complete application ( host application + java card applets)?
    I want to check it out that:- which line of java program would be helpful to know that:-
    1-"how real host application will talk to reader"
    2- how it connect and disconnect the reader
    3- how it send apdu to java card by reader
    and much more.
    I am using netbeans 7.1 and it is using CJCRE as a simulator....

    you mean to say this
    http://askra.de/software/jcdocs/app-notes-2.2.2/apduio.html
    I am quite confused now, i read this but still can not imagine the concept ,
    an applet code is :-
    public class GetName extends Applet
         final static byte CLASS     = (byte) 0x80;  // Class of the APDU commands
         final static byte INS_READ  = (byte) 0x02;  // instruction for the READ APDU command
         final static byte INS_WRITE = (byte) 0x03;  // instruction for the READ APDU command
         final static byte INS_DY_CO = (byte) 0x04;  // instruction for the READ APDU command
         final static byte[] text    = {(byte) 'A', (byte) 'M', (byte) 'I', (byte) 'T'};
         public static byte[] holder;
         public static void install(byte[] bArray, short bOffset, byte bLength)
            new GetName();
        protected GetName()
            holder = new byte[5];// allocation of memory in runtime
            register();
        public void process(APDU apdu)
              if(selectingApplet())
                   return;
            byte[] cmd_apdu = apdu.getBuffer();         
             if (cmd_apdu[ISO7816.OFFSET_CLA] == CLASS)
                   switch(cmd_apdu[ISO7816.OFFSET_INS])
                        case INS_READ:  
                        if ((cmd_apdu[ISO7816.OFFSET_P1] != 0) || (cmd_apdu[ISO7816.OFFSET_P2] != 0))
                        ISOException.throwIt(ISO7816.SW_WRONG_P1P2);
                        short le = (short)(cmd_apdu[ISO7816.OFFSET_LC] & 0x00FF); 
                        short len_text = (short)text.length;                      
                        if (le != len_text)
                        ISOException.throwIt((short)(ISO7816.SW_CORRECT_LENGTH_00 + len_text)); 
                        apdu.setOutgoing();                      
                        apdu.setOutgoingLength((short)len_text);
                        apdu.sendBytesLong(text, (short)0, (short)len_text);
                        break;
                    // here we save data from apdu and will keep inside the data byte                   
                        case INS_WRITE:
                    short lc = (short)(cmd_apdu[ISO7816.OFFSET_LC] & 0x00FF); 
                    Util.arrayCopy(cmd_apdu, (short) ((ISO7816.OFFSET_CDATA) & 0xff), holder, (short) 0, lc);
                        short len_holder_inside_write= (short) holder.length;
                       apdu.setOutgoing();
                    apdu.setOutgoingLength((short)len_holder_inside_write);
                    apdu.sendBytesLong(holder, (short) 0, (short) len_holder_inside_write);
                    break;
                    case INS_DY_CO:
                        short len_holder= (short) holder.length;
                    apdu.setOutgoing();
                    apdu.setOutgoingLength((short)len_holder);
                    apdu.sendBytesLong(holder, (short) 0, (short) len_holder);
                    break;
                        default : 
                        ISOException.throwIt(ISO7816.SW_INS_NOT_SUPPORTED);
             else
                    ISOException.throwIt(ISO7816.SW_CLA_NOT_SUPPORTED);
    }now i think i need to make a another java file which would contain a main class, Is this both file would be inside a single java card project. and how these both would be connect to each other.
    for manually run a applet- there were two steps 1-
    C:\java_card_kit-2_2\samples\src\demo>jcwde jcwde-getname.app
    Java Card 2.2 Workstation Development Environment (version 0.18).
    Copyright 2002 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
    jcwde is listening for T=0 Apdu's on TCP/IP port 9,025.
    and in second terminal we wrote-
    C:\java_card_kit-2_2\samples\src\demo>apdutool -nobanner -noatr getname.scr > ge
    tname.scr.jcwde.out
    Here it is clear that, if i will use javacardio then no need to pass the apdu from a file .....but i am confuse about how it possible, ie. is both file lie in same project , because i m using simulator so i need to run these both file simoltaneously........give me some roughly steps to implement this.

  • Is it possible to track the device installed on FACETIME?

    Hello,
    My device is stolen and wanted to know if it is possible to locate the device using FACETIME?
    This option would open the device, and when I call to EMAIL through another device has regular ring,
    A person can not turn off this option because there is an access code to the device.
    In addition the device was not installed FIND MY IPHONE, but I think there is an active wireless
    The FACETIME another device was calling.
    Device was not active Sim, Is it possible to locate the device via IMEI? Or any other way

    Cars have serial numbers, too. They're called a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). That still doesn't mean that the manufacturers have the infrastructure in place to track them. You can get systems for your car that enable you to track them (e.g. Lojack). Should you fail to take that step, you can't track your car.
    Apple sells you a product. They have no responsibility for what you do with it afterwards.
    There is nothing to argue, Apple can locate the device 100%

  • Possible to simulate a spreadsheet for input, with static values per row

    Haven't seen this done but thought I'd ask, is it possible to simulate a spreadsheet interface in Apex? Basically, I have 9 columns each of which needs to be filled out for 10 time periods per day (row), and it's easiest for the user to tab across the columns then down to a new row / next timeslot, to fill out the whole day's worth of data, rather than entering hour by hour & then changing the timeslot manually. This would require that the value for column 1 of row 1 = 8, column 1 of row 2 = 9, column 1 of row 3 = 10 and so on. So, a tabular form but with static values on each row.
    Is this possible & if so, any pointers to what to start researching to make this work would be greatly appreciated. I know they can work in a spreadsheet & upoad it and we may go that way but this seemed like an interesting problem to see if Apex could handle it; I just am uncertain where to start on it is all.
    Many thanks for your pointers!

  • Is it possible to delink my devices so they have different apps?

    We have 2 iPhones and an iPad, but use one AppleID.  My wife and I want different apps on our phones.  Is it possible to delink the devices or is that done automatically because of the AppleID?

    Hi Gatorriz,
    If you don't want apps automatically downloading to all the devices when they are purchased and instead just the device you purchase the app on, you can turn off Automatic Downloads to achieve that as per this article:
    iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539
    Follow the steps for disabling Automatic Downloads (by content type) on your iPhone, your wife's iPhone, and the iPad.
    I hope this helps!  Cheers,

    Hi ShantellePhilips,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your brother's iPad is using your Apple ID and phone number, and you want to remove this association, you can reset your Apple ID password. See this link for more information:

    Note: If you no longer have access to the [iOS device] that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.

  • Is it possible to import a saved Pre 10 project into another Pre 10 project?

    Is it possible to import a saved Pre 10 project into another Pre 10 project?

    You have to Share your first project as, say, DV-AVI and then load that into your new project. The FAQ has more details.
    If you need the original project editable in the new, then you will need to buy Clipmate to copy and paste the originals timeline.

  • Is it possible to add a device in simulated NI DAQmx device or modular Instrument?

    Hi, 
          I want to simulate PXIe 8115 module without hardware.Is it possible?If Yes Can I add the device in simulated NI DAQmx device or modular Instrument?
    Please Mark the solution as accepted if your problem is solved and donate kudoes
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hm, these are several very basic questions.....
    The controller (8115) is a "complete" computer excluding a housing, power supply and external cooling. The later three components are the chassis, in your case the PXIe-1062Q.
    The controller can be run by a Windows based OS (e.g. Windows 7) or Real Time ("RT"). So what do you have installed on the 8115?
    In either case, communication with that controller by an external, additional PC or laptop is best done by Ethernet. You can use different protocols on Ethernet like a customized TCP/IP based protocol or by using NI Shared Variables.
    NI DAQmx is a hardware device driver. The purpose of this is to use a National Instrument based measurement device in a computer. If you want to use an NI device in your PXIe system, it is very likely that you require to have DAQmx installed on the 8115 controller. DAQmx is available for Windows as well as for RT.
    DAQmx in this use-case does normally not provide you a direct access to the devices in the PXIe chassis over Ethernet by *any* external computer. You have to write an application which will be run on the 8115 controller to interface (or "relay) the data to your external computer.
    hope this clears things up,
    Norbert
    PS: You should ask your local NI branch to send someone to you.... i think a direct discussion with an NI employee should be beneficial for you. Normally, a sales representative is sufficient as NI sales reps are quite technical.
    CEO: What exactly is stopping us from doing this?
    Expert: Geometry
    Marketing Manager: Just ignore it.

  • Is it possible to simulate a table for reference in  the "Custom Calculation Script" in Acrobat?

    I am attempting to simulate a table in a Acrobat form where the formula looks at the number or name from another field and looks through the code for the name or number reference and returns the value associated with the number or name. Is this possible in Acrobat forms?
    Bruce

    Yes, it's possible. You can get the name of the field that is being calculated using event.target.name, and then you can manipulate that name to get a row number (for example) and access other fields in that row.
