• list of sbRIO Eval Board of e/s

  I work with the sbRIO eval kit (http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/211116) and I can't seem to find details on the output pin. The eval Board comes with a daughter card to interface the easy I/O, but I can't find any details on what DIO are connected to what buttons push-button and LED and what DIO control the LCD etc... Basically to research to find a spindle of the sbRIO mapping to the daughter card.

  Thank you

  Hello Merc_Bert,

  If please look at this picture of DIO Port mappings and let me know if you have other questions.

• How to CAN with Sbrio 9636 interface

  Hello

  I use Labview 2011 and SBRio 9636 to communicate with controllers EPOS2 Maxon, who uses the CANOpen protocol for communication. Since then, SBRio has only library CAN shipped with it I just use it to monitor a network of communication already setup. What communication happens even within the network that sbRIO fails to receive any image. I run the example of unique input output for this purpose. The connections are checked and the resistance of connection on the bus is 120 ohm. SBRio penetrates "Error Active" mode and starts running. We also find that the Commission also triggers an error in one of the EPOS2 that is connected directly to the card. Can someone tell me why this happens? Y at - it that anything left to do? I find it difficult to download images and help send the front and block attachments Panel. P. S.

  Hello Surajp,

  I also have the problem with the sbRIO CAN communication, but at least I could receive frames just some time lost some.

  I found in your window block, you set listening only? TRUE, this is not correct, this must be set to FALSE, otherwise can not read any CAN CAN - bus framework.

  Here is the description of the help file.

  Listening only? property configures if the interface CAN transmit all information CAN bus.

  When this property is set to False, the interface can transmit frames CAN and acknowledge the received frame.

  When this property is set to True, the interface can transmit frames CAN neither acknowledge receipt CAN fit. Set to True allows a passive monitoring of network traffic, which can be useful for debugging scenarios when you do not want to interfere with a communications network.

  Hope this will help you.

• Question of sbRIO-9636

  Guys,

  I have a 1 sbRIO-9636, which was part of the assessment package. I took the part of high level (circuit that allows you to interface with a few DIO AIO) and have only the Board of Directors. then I advanced and bought some fo the Accessories:

  Part number 154041-12

  Part number 153158-10

  Now Iam stuck trying to find a block of endings (look like the cb-50 i/o (p/n 776164-90), but for this Council so that I can interface with the DIOs and AIOs.

  I learned by a seller of NOR does not make this Terminal or knows what third-party company makes. (this time I bought these pieces through OR which has baffled me)

  If anyone knows how can I get a connection block that uses the robon 50 cable I bought I'll greatly appreaciate it.

  Just remembered... NEITHER Alliance Partner Cyth Systems built a block of board-to-board endings for headings 2 x 50 pins. The product is not on their Web site the last time I checked, but the model number is CFX-076. Their roommates until the Single-Board RIO Summit.  If you need a version that uses the 50 pin cable to place the block of remote connection, they may be able to work with you on a version without the connectors the connectors on the card-board replaced with cable connectors.

  

• Looking for a map of derivation for the IDC sbRIO-9636 headers to access model IOs (or block)

  Hello

  I have a sbRIO-9636 and you want to use for prototyping of something.  It has 2 headers of IDC 50 pin access to the many inputs/outputs. The problem is that pitch IDC Council is 2 mm instead of the more standard 2.54 mm (0.1 "). I want to access these IOs model, but all the map of derivation that I can find is 2.54 mm (side of header IDC). I did a lot of google search today but no luck so far.

  Is there an easy way to access these sbRIO IO model or a block of endings of the?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hi TailOfGon,

  I know that the product manager for the Single-Board RIO is still working on getting this displayed product to ni.com, but NEITHER has recently published a map of derivation IDC cable to the connectors of 2mm on Single-Board RIO.  A single derivation card can provide a Terminal screw to the headers of the e/s analog and e/s digital at the same time. The Board match the holes of the sbRIO-962 x and x sbRIO-963 and can be mounted on the underside of the Single-Board RIO with short cables of 2mm (included) to wrap around the map of derivation.

  You can add the PN next to the cart on the Web site of NOR, or you can call and place an order:

  sbRIO 2mm IDC connector Breakout
  784507 01

  In addition, a partner of Alliance, NOR Cyth Systems, built an escape from edge to edge for headings 2mm on Single-Board RIO as well.  You can see my previous post, including a photo of their derivation here business card:

• Data acquisition on OR sbRIO 9636

  Hello! I'm working on my school project and I do the acquisition on OR sbRIO-9636. How I choose the sampling of acquisition period? I work as an example on the Web site OR below:

  http://www.NI.com/Tutorial/4534/en/

  I can't understand it on what sampling period should I put in Host.vi and in Target.vi in order to have the good acquisition? For an example, I would like to have period milliseconds 10 sampling. The configuration of loop-time in Host.vi and how Target.vi?

  Thank you

  Chupka,

  Yes, the calculation of sampling looks good this way, find all your data every loop, but you want to make sure you have a case to avoid FIFO overflows if you read each data point.  With regard to the loop of the host, you do not want make sure that it is superior to the host loop so that if you encounter the jig in your curls, you won't have the time.

• Ethernet broken on sbRIO-9636

  Hello

  So I have a sbRIO-9636 and I worked on it for a while. Have had no real problems with it, but the other day when I started it up it is just on the network. After checking the hardware (cables and switch), I noticed that the connector ethernet LED are lit (green) as soon as the sbRIO is turned on even if there is no ethernet cable connected. If I plug in an ethernet cable activity LED begins to blink continuously. There is no sign of her on the side of the switch. The port State LED is off and there is no trace of the sbRIO MAC address. I tried to put in safe mode, but the same behavior just keeps repeating itself.

  Needless to say, it does not appear to the MAX and he cannot be crazy.

  I'm about to get your hands on a cable to try to connect to the serial port and see if I can get some information about the function of the Console, but I thought I'd check if anyone here have seen this behavior a sbRIO and perhaps successful solve. It's sad to say, I did not have much hope for unity but maybe worth it.

  Thank you

  Nimgaard

  Nimgaard,

  There is nothing of National Instruments can recommend to repair this unit. I would recommend calling our support and explaining what happened. They will know if the unit is still under warranty and can you get in touch with one of our RMA coordinators who can help you deal with this. This option can be less expensive than buying a new unit.

• "For more specific class" does not not on sbRIO 9636

  The application that I am forcing me to programmatically access arbitrary components of a nested group. Currently, I am doing the browsing the cluster using his property [] node recursively controls. Currently, my accessor VI to accomplish this works very well on a normal PC but does not work on my target in real time, a sbRIO 9636.

  After some research, I determined that the function "To more specific class" does not work on my target in real time. I have attached a code base that shows the heart of the problem. It works fine on a PC but will return an error 53 when running on my target in real time.

  

  A few questions:

  (1) is 'To more specific class' supported on the sbRIO 9636 or not?
  (2) if it is supported, what am I doing wrong?

  (3) if it is not taken in charge, what are other methods for access by the arbitrary elements of a nested cluster program?
  (4) if it is not supported, why LabVIEW allows me to place the feature even when the sbRIO 9636 is explicitly selected as my goal in my LabVIEW project? It seems prudent to restrict its use, if it is not supported. My day job has been effectively wasted because of this problem.

  For reference, here's a few previous discussions

  Thank you

  The other posts are correct, because it is currently not possible to use the function on a real-time target. This is a known issue and is being investigated for correction, but currently there is no work around. It is available on the pallets that this behavior is not intentional and should work.

  You have described your application requires that recursively through a table and access to specific data. Does this mean that the Data Structure might be different when the vi is run and you need to adapt to a changing data type? If this isn't the case, then all you need to do is to get the value of the reference and then ungroup the cluster as needed then store the changed values to the same reference.

  If you're going to have to settle you will encounter difficulties to be determined pragmatically you should do but I have a suggestion. Create a cluster with an enum and a Variant. You can use the enumeration to set the type of the variant in question. He chooses the type to convert the variant according to the code. It is a similar structure, like messages in queue manager and his messages that happening except that you will be passing a reference to this group that has both the message and the payload in one. The reference could be used to get the value and then the code must only be written to accept the Cluster of Enum and variant you can then convert the variant to the appropriate type for later use. For best performance, you also use in Place of the Structure element.

  It's only a means potentially accomplish what you want. If you describe your program and needs more in depth, we are able to offer a more suitable solution for your application that does what you need. I wish you a nice day!

• CAN-bus interface on RIO Eval Board

  I am trying to use the interface on the assessment board sbRIO CAN. I installed the driver from RIO 101 shipped package, and the "Embeded CAN for sbRIO" functions are now on the range of functions. However when I place a CAN function on the block diagram, a popup appears, and Labview trying to locate a dll called rioembeddedlvapi.dll without success. It is possible to say "Ignore the point" and he gives up and puts the item on the block diagram.  Anyone know what is happening here, and whether or not it can just be ignored?  Thank you

  I was able to solve the problem on the RIO evaluation board to remove and reinstall the embedded RIO CAN package. Something must have been corrupted.

• Autonommus LEGO NXT robot

  Hi, I have 2010 LabView and NXT module for labview 2010

  I runnig a bit of line follower robot a GUI (a XY chart in the front panel) programmed in Labview, but when I disconnect the USB my robot Don t work at all, so I guess that the program is running on the computer and send just kind of commands to the robot, but I want to do an autonomous robot because you know a litle Dingo goes behind the robot my laptop whit, also I Don t have the dongle Bluettooth =)

  Is it possible to:

  (1) make your NXT code in Labview

  (2) download the code for the NXT brick

  (3) disconnect the USB cable from the computer and the NXT brick

  (4) run the program without a computer

  I m sure it s posibble and maybe this is a silly question but I can´t find a way to make it work by miself, thanks for the answer! = D

  Best regards

  Diego

  Hi Diego,.

  You must change the "target" of your program of line follower.

  With your connected NXT brick, go in the file menu of your program and select "target to NXT.

  The lower left corner of your window should turn on orange to display the name of the NXT that you will shoot.

  You can right click it to switch/scan nxts as well.

  Once you target, you can use the button to compile, download and run your program.

• questions of FIFO sbRIO 9636

  Hello world

  I'm new to the part during a real-time/embedded Labview and I'm just starting to play with the RIO evaluation kit.

  I stumbled upon a phenomenon that I do not understand... So maybe it's a stupid thing, so I apologize in advance.

  I have create a FIFO on the FPGA target (configured to Traget - to - Host DMA) and put the UINT16 5Million of a FPGA loop values, as soon as possible. Now, amazingly, I can read either with a VI on the chassis in real time, but also with an identical VI located on the PC host, even with similar performance.

  In fact, I don't understand where the data are buffered and how the PC can access. I thoght the FIFO DMA memory needs to be on the RT target, right? So, how the data comes to the PC without a RT - VI? I guess that this method of data transfer (FPGA-to-PC) is not a use of FIFO, right?

  In addition, when I check the property of "Possible elements" of FIFO in the PC - VI or RT - VI, I get numbers approximately 8000 to 10,000, while FIFO is configured with 1023 elements only.

  How is that possible?

  (Btw.: I realize that I'm losing a lot of data and the FIFO is small.) Yet, I want to first understand the points above).

  The project is included in the ZIP.

  Best regards and thanks for your efforts,

  Joe

  Hey Joe,

  NEITHER offers a service called NI RIO Server. This service is installed with LabVIEW RealTime on your target in real time and allows you to connect to the FPGA of the cRIO/sbRIO from a computer.

  I can't find a lot of information available on the internet, this page only:

  How to make the devices to access RIO on a computer connected to the network? -National Instruments
  http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/43F81436B97AEE28862573D40069F440

  He is the Francis, why you are able to run the same program in real-time on the RIO and the development computer. It is also the reason why you must enter the IP address of the target in real time on the program running on the development PC. If you run the VI on the RealTime Taraget itself, it is not necessary to enter the IP address.

  Some information on the size of the FIFO:

  The FIFO is not only a buffer. A buffer of contains two FIFO.

  A buffer is located in the FPGA itself. It is unbelievable small (1023 elements by default), but this buffer is super fast. The size of this buffer is configured as part of the LabVIEW project. You can increase the number of elements in the buffer zone, but you will never be able to achieve an elements > 20K buffer size due to the constrained resource of the FPGA.

  The second buffer is located on the site in real time of the RIO. This buffer can be bigger than the buffer on the FPGA, usually 10 x or more. You can configure the size of the buffer of site in real time by your LabVIEW Code on the part in real time.

  

  Best regards, Stephan
