Visa Error in MAX for Compact RIO

Hi,
I have a compact rio I haven't used in a few months. In Labview 7.1 and since upgrading to 7.1.1, I can't
connect to the compact rio. In MAX, I can see the crio device. When I open up the device, I get a VISA error
under Devices and Interfaces . 0xBFFF00A7 (VI_ERROR_MACHINE_NAVAIL). I can't ftp or ping to the crio either.
I have NI-RIO 1.2.
I connected to the crio console ....

Hi, Raltieri,
I noticed from the text that you sent that your cRIO controller has LabVIEW RT 7.1. Since you upgraded your host computer to LabVIEW 7.1.1, you will also need to upgrade the LabVIEW image on your controller to the same version. Try reinstalling the LabVIEW RT component into the cRIO controller (in MAX, under Remote Systems, under your cRIO >> Software), and just make sure that you select 7.1.1 as the version to reinstall. Most likely that is the problem.
Please let me know if that doesn't help.

  • Error 1335 When Installing Compact RIO Module Software 2.1.4 From Hard Drive

    I’m having issues with the installation of the CompactRIO Module Software 2.1.4.
    Initially, problems were occurring when trying to communicate with the device, as it was denying access to it from the Development PC. Various things were tried such as adding a ‘*’ to the fields and making sure 'Allow' was selected in the communication properties on LabView RT. This didn't seem to work. A post relating to our problem is here: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170​&message.id=269809&query.id=18752#M269809
    As none of this was working, we decided to format the disk on the Compact RIO and reinstall the software to it. The software downloaded from Ni.com was the CompactRIO Module Software version 2.1.4 (dated May 2007). This file was unzipped using WinZIP 9.0 (on a PC running Windows XP Pro SP2 5.1.2600) and then transferred with a USB stick to the Development PC.
    We attempted to install the file on the Development PC (running Windows 2000 SP3 5.00.2195) by running setup.exe. This started normally, but then proceeded to come up with an error message saying: ‘Error 1335. The cabinet file ‘Cabs.w1.cab’ required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.’
    Attached are screen shots of the error message that appears.
    As a result of this error, the installation could not be continued and the module software was not installed.
    What is going wrong with the installation and how can I go about sorting it out?
    Thanks very much,

    Error Message CRIO Module 2.1.4.JPG ‏36 KB

    Way,
    Thanks for the help overall, I finally worked it out. The problem was initially present in the unzipping of the original archive that had been downloaded from the NI.com website. When I had previously unzipped it, I had done so to a network drive which for some reason stopped autorun.inf and autorun.exe from functioning properly and so when I tried to install it on the Dev PC I got the aforementioned error. To overcome this problem I unzipped it to a local drive and (surprise!) there were no faults, so when installing the actual software, no errors appeared and it was installed correctly.
    This however was not the only problem, the version that had now been installed did not want to co-operate with the RIO at all, and came up with various software errors in addition to not having all of the available software modules for the RIO available to install. The solution was then to install the newest RIO software, which is very badly labelled on the NI.com website by the way (its packaged as RIO software, so if you're looking explicitly for CRIO software you've got no chance of finding it). The newest version, 2.3 (Aug 07) as opposed to the 2.1.4 (May 07) that I was previously trying, worked fine and I was able to get all the software modules installed. So for now the problem is solved!
    Thanks again for all the help.
    Cheers,

  • Intermittent VISA errors -10073807194 'connection for given session has been lost'

    I am using a USB/Serial converter with FTDI chipset (VCP configured) to communicate with a serial device. There is an intermittent problem where the connection disappears, and the VISA error '10073807194' is generated. I have read carefully through the other threads related to this error, but still do not have a solution. Some background information on my set-up:
    1) NI VISA 5.1.2
    2) LV 2010
    3) Windows 7 - 64 bit
    Could windows be dropping the connection for the FTDI device when communication errors occur? Has anyone had this experience? We were previously using a prolific converter, and were encountering other communication errors where the read would timeout or only partial responses would be returned, but the VISA connection was not lost. I know the prolific converters can be problematic on 64 bit windows, so I was hoping the new converter would solve the problems.
    I will post the code tomorrow, but I open the VISA session and configure the port on start up and close it when the application exits. I am using the bytes at port with the VISA read. However, the code I have has been running fine on two test machines in our office for several months. The above issues have been occuring at a customer's site overseas. We have not been able to reproduce the above problems here. There may be environmental factors at play (improper grounding, noise, etc.)
    I should also mention that the original setup has this USB converter running through a hub, but the hub on their setup had to be removed due to reoccurring communication problems with this serial device, as well as other connected devices. We are going to get them to try installing a serial port on one of their PCs, and see if it eliminates the issue.
    In the mean time any experience/help troubleshooting would really be appreciated.  Thank you!!!
    Zalusky

    Well, I saw your Kudos to this post
    Using "Bytes at port" on the FTDI driver can be very problematic and is the likely culprit for the behavior change.  If there is any way to use a term char with the serial protocol change this.
    The FTDI driver does have control of the buffer size and latency timer.  Read through the documentation in this link.  At the very least your polling rate for "Bytes at port" should be greater than the latency timer setting if the expected transfer is less than the buffer size. (shorten the timer )

  • How to store data into a file from a host VI developed for Compact RIO

    Hi,
    I am new to the CompactRIo.I have developed a VI which runs on the FPGA(CompactRIO) which continuously monitors tha data from a system and i have developed a host VI to read the data and i am successfully getting the data into my computer and i want that data to store into a file.When i use the write to spreadsheet VI for writing into a file.The data is not written into file can anybody tell me why this is happening?

    Hi,
    The last one you said is working when i conected through it is working, whatever files i have  used earlier are there.Thanks  for that but i have few queries please answer me so that i acn proceed in my  project.
    1.As you said to connect to ftp://xx.xx.xx.xx i have seen some extra files along with my files waht are they? waether my data files are stored in flash memory of RT controller?if so, how to clear those files?
    2.Suppose i want to clean up the flash memory of RT contrller i.e suppose i have deployed some file earlier , now i want to cleanup those i dumped into the memory how to do that?
    3.How to disable the Application running on the RT controller when it powers on? i.e. when i switch on the power it should be connected but nothing hould be running on.
    4.I mean at the end of the experiment when i stopped the host VI by pressing stop button weather application running on the RT controller will stop and weather FPGA VI runnibg on that also stop if not how to stop?
    5.Suppose next time when i connect to ftp://xx.xx.xx.xx i dont want to keep earlier files there how to delete them?Because my doubt is if i am using the file name which is same as the prevoius one there is aproblem of appending the new data to the old file.?

  • I am looking for Compact RIO system for PID control

    Hi all,
    I am looking for the CompactRIO system for PID control.
    My system acquires two input data (0-10V) from two displacement sensors and sends one output signal (0-10V) to piezo-actuator at every step. And my target is the short settling time and the low overshoot.
    I think that I need fast control system. So I am interested in CompactRIO. But I am not familiar with this sytem. Could you recommend the good control system for me?
    The one important thing is that the time limiting step of my system is Piezo actuator (it's natural freq is 20kHz.) CompactRIO is much faster than the Piezo-actuator. I am not sure whether CompactRIO is good to my system or not.
    Here is the CompactRIO system which I am interested in:
    i) CompactRIO Reconfigurable Embedded System: cRIO-9004
    ii) CompactRIO Reconfigurable Chassis: cRIO-9101
    iii) I/O Module : AI : cRIO-9215 AO: cRIO-9263
    Thank you so much,
    Sungjin

    Hello Sungjin,
    CompactRIO should work great for your PID control system. Those I/O modules are the correct voltage range and the 1M gate FPGA backplane will be plenty for a single PID controller. You'll probably be able to get loop rates around 100kHz for analog PID control.
    Keep in mind that the LabVIEW FPGA module includes PID examples that will cut down your development time considerably.
    Regards,
    Vineet

  • Reactivar compact rio en max por red

    Saludos a todos!!
    espero me puedan ayudar..
    realicé un reinició del MAX en mi pc ya que marcaba algunos errores, por lo cual se borraron todos los registros y todas las tarjetas y módulos que estaba utilizando. ahora quiero volver a integrar el modulo compactRIO-9074 que ya tenia por medio de la IP. pero al momento de intentar agregarla, primero con el hostname dice "Unable to initialize connection to remote target(s)" y por medio de la IP me dice lo siguiente "The device at this adress is not supported by the drives installed on this host". solo puedo aclarar que mi pc requiere permisos de administrador para todas las instalaciones, ademas no he desinstalado drivers ni nada por el estilo. solo realice el reinicio del MAX debido a los problemas que presentaba. el compact rio sigue con su misma IP ya que puedo monitorearla por internet. espero me puedan ayudar con esto. gracias.

    Buenos días Reno32
    Le puedo platicar lo siguiente en relación a los dos mensajes que le arroja MAX al momento de conectarse por medio de "Remote Device (not on the local subnet)"
    "Unable to initialize connection to remote target(s)"
    Este problema se debe a que la computadora no se pudo conectar con el dispositivo, ya sea que por que la IP ingresada sea incorrecta o bien que el firewall de la computadora pudiera estar interfiriendo con la comunicación.
    "The device at this adress is not supported by the drives installed on this host"
    Este problema pudiera estar ligado con los drivers. Cuando trabajamos con un dispositivo en tiempo real, tanto el modulo de Real Time instalado en la computadora, y el software instalado en el controlador, deben de ser de la misma versión.  
    Como troubleshooting me gustaría preguntarle
    - Que módulo de Real Time es con el que esta trabajando ?
    - Que versión de LabVIEW es la que esta utilizando ?
    - Que versión de NI RIO tiene instalada ? (esta la puede revisar en la pestaña de software dentro de MAX)
    - Cuando menciona "el compact rio sigue con su misma IP ya que puedo monitorearla por internet", Qué herramienta esta utilizando para monitorearlo? o bien le aparece debajo de Remote Systems ?
    Como recomendación le puedo sugrerir:
    - Asegurarnos que el firewall del computador se encuentre desactivado.
    - Conectar directamente el cRIO a la computadora de desarrollo por medio de un cable Ethernet (en caso de que no este conectado directamente).
    - Colocar la computadora de desarrollo en la misma red que el controlador, e intentar reconocerlo en MAX.
    - Si es posible agregar el controlador en MAX, actualizar el software del cRIO para asegurarnos que la versión de drivers instalada en el cRIO coincida con la versión del Módulo de Real Time instalada en la computadora.

  • Error 7 produced when saving to a spread sheet file using a compact rio

    Hi
    Im having a little difficultly saving to a spread sheet file using a compact rio. I bundled the data from a NI 9215 with a timer and stuck it into an x-y graph and that works fine as it goes round in shift registers. But then I passed the data out of my while loop unbundled it, turned it into a 2d array and tried to write it into a spread sheet file using the appropriate i/o vi provided by labview 8.2. I have hooked up all the requirements like format, and file path. But it keeps returning error 7 and says that my file path is incorrect. I’ve tried using a constant file path, ive tried creating the file before running the program, ive tried just writing the file straight to a disk in this case h:\test.asc but every time it comes back with error 7. I then went to a lab downstairs to see how they did it and the method I’m using it works down there but is exactly the same as mine upstairs. I’m a little confused by this one.
    Any pointers would be much appreciated.
    Dan

    Hi
    I apologise I didn’t specify I was only using a NI cRIO-9004 not realising you could get ones that had a USB port. I thought mine would behave in the same way as a DAQ device and write the file back onto the main computer hard drive. Is this not what happens if not how do you make it do that. The computer is a networked system with its own C:\ harddrive, but my personal space is on H:\ which must be like a pretend hard drive, or alternatively can you make the cRIO write it to a memory stick within a USB port of the programming PC itself. Or can you write onto memory of cRIO but then how do you download the data?
    Also I apologise that I posted the message twice only did cos I thought it might be in the wrong forum.
    Thanks

  • Build real-time application with Compact RIO

    Good afternoon,
    I am currently trying to run a VI on compact RIO and would like to control it through remote front panel. I followed steps on this link http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AB6C6841486E84EA862576C8005A0C26 and successfully done everything with a simple example.
    However when I moved on and did the same thing to a more complicated VI (my purpose is to make this VI work), everything was fine until I reboot the compact RIO. After a few seconds connection lost between the host computer and cRIO, and I had to shut it down and delete the startup file (with extension .rtexe).
    I am not sure what happened since everthing works fine with simple VI but not the complicated one. It could because the second VI has many sub VIs as well as objective functions loaded in it, it could also because the VI takes too much memories of the CRIO and stop it from connecting to the host computer.
    If anyone have any ideas of how to make it work please let me know.
    Thanks very much
    Carl

    Hello zzzfreedom,
    There are a number of potential issues I can see with the VI you're trying to deploy as a startup executable.  How do you intend to interact with this VI? Are you running the front panel as a remote panel or connecting to the VI using debug tools? A few points:
    - Your VI will run immediately when the RIO boots unless you're using debugging tools to prevent this from happening, keep that in mind.  It looks like you've accounted for this and required an initialize or network trigger of some sort for some of your loops, but the AI loop will start quickly and appears that it may require user input. 
    - You have several "user prompt" style express VIs.  These will not work (or will not work as expected) on a standalone RT target.  There is usually no front panel to interact with!
    - Like dialogs, event structures watching for user interaction probably aren't going to do what you want.
    - You are writing quite a bit of data to the VI's front panel, and there is at least one chart indicator.  Again, how will the user interact with this VI?  It looks like you need a host VI that will run on a machine the user will interact with.
    - You're using quite a few local variables.  It looks like you've taken a lot of care to protect against race conditions, but this causes a lot of data copies and tends to be error prone.
    - I've not analyzed all cases, but it looks like you have a number of places where the execution of a timed loop may be blocked under certain conditions.  This will likely rail the CPU due to the much higher priority of the timed loops.
    - What will happen if you lose connection with the server in your TCP command loop?  it doesn't look like there is any way for the user to reconnect without restarting the RIO.
    If you do intend to run this as a remotely accessible VI on your RT target, another point to note is that when running from the development environment, the front panel of your VI executes on the host machine. Once you deploy it as a remote front panel or debuggable RTEXE, everything is hosted on the RIO, and this has the potential to bog things down quickly.
    Here are a few references I think you might find helpful:
    LabVIEW Help: Real-Time Operating Systems - see considerations for Express VIs and Front Panel interaction

    Hello Nadia,
    Thank you for posting to the National Instruments Forum.
    Can you tell us briefly what is your application?
    Do you have an error occuring when you try to develop in Scan Mode?
    Here are some information which can help you;
    - cRIO Scan Mode
    - Your Spec
    - Choose you mode (P7)
    Here's is a short extract:
    Scan Interface mode enables you to use C Series modules directly from LabVIEW Real-Time. Modules that you use in Scan Interface mode appear directly under the chassis item in the Project Explorer
    window and I/O channels appear as I/O variables under the modules. To use I/O variables, you drag and drop them to LabVIEW Real-Time VIs. In Scan Interface mode, you do not need to do any LabVIEW FPGA development or program communication between FPGA and Host VIs. You also do not need to wait for VIs to be compiled to the FPGA before deploying and running them. In Scan Interface mode , LabVIEW programs the FPGA on the CompactRIO target to work with the variables."
    Keep us notified,

  • Error in firmware cFP 2020 & connection time out error in MAX

    Hi!
    My cFP 202O status LED is flashing twice - which indicates that there is an error in the firmware (according to the user manual). I've already installed the latest firmware downloaded from the NI website and it says that I'm suppose to update the OS from remote system in MAX. When trying to update the BIOS system, this comes up.
    Version on the remote target : 10.1
    Available version on the host : 10.4
    I'm a little confused as to which is the remote target and which is the hosting system? It also says that the previously installed software will be removed if update is continued and that it might damage the hardware if manually booted or turned off so I'm a little skeptical to proceed.
    I'm alsoreceiving error messages in MAX. Errors in MAX are 'Connected - No software installed' and connection to a remote device timed out. I'm wondering if this error occurs because of the firmware problem or is it because of the timeout settings? Which is better? A higher or lower timeout time?
    I'm new with this. Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The target is your compact Fieldpoint.  The host is your PC that you are on.  Since the PC has a newer version, you will want to have that software downloaded to the cFP by way of MAX.  Of course there is a slight chance you could lose power to the cFP if your luck is bad and the power goes out in the middle of the upgrade.  It would be best to have your power supply for the cFP running off a battery backup UPS for security.
    I'm guessing the error is due to your firmware problem.
    If you are really uncertain on how to proceed, it may be best if you contact NI directly and they could help walk you through the update process.

  • Visa error unless logged in as admin

    I'm installing a LV program on several computers running Win7. It uses VISA to communicate with three separate instruments. If I'm logged in as admin everything runs perfectly but when anyone without admin rights logs in I keep getting VISA error "resources not found". This seems to be the two serial ports on a card, COM1 which is the on board port is working. I installed this on an identical computer yesterday and did not have this problem.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When you are logged in as the other user, what do the serial ports show up as in Device Manager?  What do they look like in MAX?
    I wonder if there is a setting, possibly some sort of Windows Group Policy that is locking out serial ports for non-admins.
    Is this a real serial port (with DB9 connector) or is this a USB-RS-232 converter which gives a virtual com port?  Perhaps if group policy is to disable USB ports for non-admins, it is blocking the converter from working.  Just speculating.

    Hello
    I have a sbRIO9636 and the test instruments. I just want to connect sbRIO and Test instruments(with RS232).
    I am trying to connect RS232 (9 pin) via serial ports..I also have Measurement & Automation Explorer (ver 5.1) to monitor and configure Serial/parallel connections.
    The problem is that when I query, it looks like my device is not properly recognized. I only get time-out errors.  VISA Error -1073807202. But when I connect the Test instruments directly to PC, NI Max shows COM 1 and can get the data from the test instrumnets. That means, I can get the data from PC , but I can't do the same with sbRIO9636.
    How can I ensure that my device is properly recognized? Is my COM1 port activated at all? I can't see COM Port in NI Max for sbRIO9636.

    VISA Init COM Port error (VI-wiring Diagram).jpg ‏291 KB

    Hello DAY-TE,
    Looking at the VISA Init COM Port error wiring diagram it looks like you are initializing the port and then using VISA Open afterwards. The Initialize VI for your device should already be handling opening the resource. Check the documentation for the reset VI because resetting the device might not necessarily close the the resource so using the VISA Open would be redundant and therefore cause an error.
