  • Can we connect xbee to cfp2020 controller​s serial port for wireless communicat​ion

    hi,
        i wanna do data aqcuisition using ethernet as well as wireless technologies, for that i wanna use xbee with cpf 2020.   is it possible?
    thanks in advance

    You can do it fine..
    I am guessing the wireless modem is really a router as well. When you say wireless do you mean 3g internet or 4g internet or do you mean cable or adsl and a wireless modem router.?? It is just helpful to know what you are talking about by wireless modem or wireless internet.
    You have that plugged into ethernet over power (EOP) adapters .. that is great.
    Plugged into TV again that is fine.. although I am unclear what or how it is decoding.. is it IPTV??
    Now to your specific questions.
    Now, is it possible to
    a) connect the Time Capsule to the powerline, so it can act as an access point? When connected to this powerline (ethernet) I hope I won't loose speed to the wireless connection
    Yes, the TC needs to be bridged..
    Go to manual setup of the Airport utility.. click on the internet tab.. go to connection sharing on the bottom of that page.. select off bridge mode.. update the TC.
    Now you can plug the TC into the EOP adapter. And it will work as Wireless Access Point.. WAP or short AP.. and switch.
    Plug the TV into the TC as well.. that should all work fine.
    b) will I be able to connect my digital tv-decoder to the TC without any problems? So the TC is the decoder's "ethernet port"?
    Hope this is a bit clear, as English is not my mothertongue...
    IPTV can be complicated to setup and exactly how it works will depend on the main router.. sometimes IPTV is only delivered to a specific ethernet port.. in which case the above suggestion will not work.. you can use either internet or the TV.. not both..

  • Best current ideas for wireless AIO printer for MBP? Prefer not HP or Canon(my MX 850's bad match)*

    Would appreciate best current ideas for wireless AIO printer to pair with MBP (bought late 2011). Prefer not HP or Canon.  Got my MX 850 to print -- with lots of work -- but would not scan.  Tried to fix that, now won't print or scan. Time to move forward, leaving Canon along with Dell notebook in recycle bin.  Thanks for any suggestions.

  • How do I use more than four PDOs when working with NI-Industr​ial Communicat​ions for CANopen?

    When I call CANopen TPDO Create.vi to create TPDO objects I can only input PDO1 through PDO4. How do I work with more than four PDOs?
    I see the other forum thread using an older version of CANopen, but it does not appear to directly translate into the newer NI-Industrial Communications for CANopen.
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/Automotive-and-Embedded-Ne​tworks/PDOs-on-a-CANopen-network/m-p/405001?requir​...

    Hi wireman,
    A good resource for CANopen is available here.  That page explains that typically in the CANopen standard, there are only 4 predefined PDOs in each direction (transmit and receive).  To use extra PDOs, additional configuration is required.  The configuration of the predefined PDO Channels refers to the COB-ID that they are linked to by default.
    According to the LabVIEW help files, the COB-ID is 'calculated' by adding the value of the PDO Channel and the Node ID, if the COB-ID is zero.  However, if the COB-ID is explicitly defined, then LabVIEW will ignore the calculation provided by the Node ID and PDO Channel.  So, if you need more than the four PDOs, you'll need to use the COB-ID input to differentiate which channel is being referenced.
    I hope this clears some things up, and please don't hesitate to ask for more advice.

  • NB205 and the software Wireless Communicat​ion Switch

    I have just upgraded my NB205-N210 from Windows XP to Windows 7. After running all the relevant Windows Updates and the Toshiba Software Installer for Windows 7, just about everything works great. (Note: my function keys do work in conjunction with the Flashcards utility.)
    The one problem is wireless. Some people have posted a related problem, but I think I can pin down the source more precisely. Fn+F8 cannot enable wireless, and Flashcards give the error "Wireless communication is disabled. Please turn on the Wireless communication switch." The NB205 does not have a physical switch to turn on the wireless hardware. In Windows XP, the NB205 turned wireless on and off through a software switch. Is there a version of this software switch for Windows 7? If not, does anyone know a workaround?
    (One more note, I have also tried uninstalling the adapter, but that made no difference.)

  • How can I use a microphone with a wireless speaker system for announcing at a party?

    I am trying to use my computer (which is already wirelessly hooked up to my speakers) as a make shift pa system. Is there a way to hook up a microphone to my computer to use it to do a little announcing at a party?

    NI-DAQ is not supposed to detect your GPIB and NI-488 software will not detect your daq board. When you installed MAX, was this from a LabVIEW driver install CD that also put a new version of NI-DAQ on your pc. Open MAX and check your currently installed versions of NI-DAQ and NI-488. They should both be listed. If you have a new version of NI-DAQ than 6.1, you can uninstall the newer version and install 6.1.

  • How to handle threading for TCP communicat​ion?

    Hi,
    I've a project to control two separate applications (C++ and LabView) and both of them are implemented as server. Another client program (C++) is used to control those application. The communication among them are implemented using TCP socket. The client program sends message to start or stop some tasks on the servers. The client program also sends time (hh:mm:ss) with the start and stop message to determine when to start or stop.
    In C++ application (server): The application listens for connection and when gets  one, it creates a communication thread to handle that and again listen for another connection. The communication thread handles message passing and when it receives start or stop message, it creates a timer thread with the received time to trigger a task at specified time. And after that it waits for message from the client. So, here, when thread (communication, timer) is needed, it is created.
    In LabView (server): I've tried to create same thing as the C++ server. But, from LabView manual and others forum threads, I got that LabView is multithreading and it can be done using independent loop. So, I'd to create four loops in a diagram:
    1. Listen for new connection
    2. Handle communication for already received connection
    3. Start timer
    4. Stop timer
    and they are run at the beginning of the execution and communication among them are managed using local variables. But, 2,3 and 4th loop can handle only one connection and it can handle another if the current is closed. But, the C++ application can handle more than one connection by creating thread when it is necessary but not at the beginning of the execution of the application.
    Is there a better way to implement this in LabView?
    Is it possible to handle multiple connections and create diagram node/block (like thread) dynamically like C++?
    Thanks.

    There are several ways to do this in modern LabVIEW and you should probably search the Example Finder for some TCP examples. The classic way is to transfer the connection refnum from the listen loop to a communication loop that adds it to an array of connection IDs and then continously iterates over this array to do the communication. It works since about LabVIEW 4.0 perfectly for me even for applications with HTTP based communication protocol. But you need to make sure of course that the communciation handling for one connection isn't delaying its work for some reasons as that would delay the handling of the other connections too, as they are really worked on sequentially. If you encounter an error, the connection ID is closed and removed from the array.
    The other is that you create a VI that does your whole communication and terminates itself on an error or when getting the quit command. Make this VI to be reentrant and then launch it through VI server as reentrant instance, passing it the newly received connection refnum form the listen loop. Then use the Run method to let it start and operate like an independant thread.
    For all of these you should be able to find an example in the Example Finder when searching for TCP.

  • LabWindows​/CVI 5.5 for GPIB communicat​ion?

    Hello!
    I'm a GPIB rookie and can't get my GPIB devices to talk with LabWindos/CVI:
    For the GPIB devices I am using (FWBell 7030 Gaussmeter, Keithley 6514 Electrometer) are no instrument modules available (at least I can't find any).
    How can I talk with these devices, using the IEEE488(.2) functions in LabWindows 5.5?
    If I use these functions (i.e. Send / Receive), I allway get error messages and the devices don't redspond and sometimes they show error messages.
    How do I address a device on the GPIB Bus?
    Every idea is welcome, I need all the help I can get.
    Thank you!"

    Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument either. This leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at:
    http://zone.ni.com/idnet/other.htm
    We develop drivers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
    If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
    http://zone.ni.com/idnet/development.htm
    There may be a similar driver on ni.com/idnet that can be used as a model.
    We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments'
    products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:

  • Are CANOpen cycle-time​s required for SDO communicat​ion?

    Hi All,
    In order to perform a particular action (Home stages) I send a sequence of 3 SDO commands to a positioning stage. These stages are using a FOR loop to a series of 15 stages. I am using a high-speed card with 125000 baud rate.
    When sending this sequence of commands some of the stages (one or two randomly) will not respond. On other occasions all of the stages will respond first time. I do not have any time delays between the sequence of 3 commands I send or between the loops of the FOR structure.
    All other commands (move stage, change velocity etc) are sent as single objects (rather than a sequence of 3 objects) and there is usually a large time-delay between commands (due to the process I am programming rather than any intentional wait functions in the code). These commands work perfectly every time.
    This 15-axis system is an expansion of a 13-axis system I was working with previously. The 13-axis systems responded to the homing sequence consistently and reliably every-day for 6-months or so.
    The manufacturer works only with PDO comms and has no experience using SDO communication. They believe I may have to re-write my code to implement PDO style 'cycles' to buffer the speed I send commands to the stages. However I am a bit skeptical of this as I believe SDO comms means that each command is acknowledged before the next command is sent (I am open to correction on this as I have very little experience with CANOpen). This makes me think communication in cycles (for SDO) would be of no advantage.
    Before I try this quite major re-write of my code can anyone advise if this cycle-based communication model might help or is it only applicable to the PDO protocol?
    Kind regards and thanks,
    Dave

    Hi Dave
    I have read up on your question and I believe that some type of producer/consumer architecture is needed. The reason for the non response of some of the commands is that no time delay is available between the sequence of commands you are trying to process. By having the producer/consumer architecture you are ensuring there is a wait between the stages in the sequence. And that the next command in the sequence will not execute until the last command has executed successfully. So in other words a PDO system would be implemented here. A producer/consumer would be a solid program architecture for ensuring reliable PDO communcation in CANOpen.

  • Industrial communicat​ions for devicenet

    I am trying to configure a Beckhoff IL2302-B520-0000 Dnet Header in MAX using NI industrial communications for devicenet and a PXI-1033 / PXI-8532. If I right click on the beckhoff and select configure IO in the project explorer, there are no options to pick in IO connection type pull down and the add/edit/remove buttons are grayed out in the IO variables section (so I can't add IO Items to my project).
    If I then Right click on the Beckhoff, in the project and select utilities / on-line test panel and then click on verify the device, I get the following message:
    "The I/O in the configuration is different from the supported I/O in the device. Please change the device data sheet. Here are the details:
    Warning: This device supports the additional mode, Poll, Strobe, COS, Cyclic. It isn't defined in the slave configuration.
    You can click "Verify the device" again to verify that the device supports the configured I/O configuration."
    I have the most current datasheet (just downloaded it from Beckhoff, so I am not sure what is going on here...
    I don't have this issue on my other device but my other devices use dip switches to set the baud rate and node addresses.  I think this is somehow related to my issue (but not sure)?
    I think this node needs to be commissioned some how but I don't know how to do this in Labview...
    Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    At least it sounds like the Beckhoff device is detected in Max with our master?
    I noticed the eds file has only one revision for both Min and Major. Could you upload your device information and check whether you have a later revision?
    if that is the case you have to change the eds file to match the revisions of your device and you must reimport the file.

  • CANopen TPDO Read.vi takes 8 to 9 seconds (NI-Indust​rial Communicat​ions for CANopen with NI 9881)

    I am using NI-Industrial Communications for CANopen with a NI 9881 CANopen module on a cRIO in LabVIEW 2011.
    I am trying to read a PDO from a slave device. At the moment the slave device is not fully functional. That is, the PDOs are not being transmitted. My problem is that the CANopen TPDO Read.vi is taking 8 to 9 seconds to execute even though the timeout is set to zero. It seems that even though my slave device is not transmitting the PDO, the CANopen TPDO Read.vi shoudl timeout immediately and return. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Are there any workarounds? 

    Hi wireman,
    I'd like to point you at the NI-CANopen.lvproj in the NI Example Finder (available by searching CANopen).  Inside that project is a TPDO_Read.vi that should work and eliminates programming variables from the troubleshooting process.  I'm also curious, is the slave device actively on the network and is it sending heartbeat messages?  Does the TPDO Read.vi return an error after the 8 to 9 seconds?  If so, what is the code associated with it?
    Let us know if using the shipping example project works or displays the same behavior.
