This allows you to write and debug your VIs on the host, and then download them to the
remote system when you are ready. All you need to change is the board ID in your VI from
the locally assigned Board ID to the ID assigned by the remote system.
14. Browse to
Devices and Interfaces
under
My System
, where there is a shortcut icon next
to a new controller name.
For example, if the motion controller on the remote system is a PXI-7354, and the remote
system has an IP address of
123.45.678.9
, then the shortcut device would show a name
like
PXI-7354 (X) on 123.45.678.9 (Y)
.
X
is the board ID assigned to the board by the remote system. Use this board ID for VIs that
are downloaded to the remote system through LabVIEW RT.
Y
is the board ID assigned to the remote motion controller by the local system. Use this
board ID for any VIs that run on the host and use the remote motion controller.

NI UMI-7772/7774 and NI ISM-74xx Configuration and
Installation
This section covers the hardware setup for the NI UMI-7772/7774 and NI ISM-74xx integrated
steppers. If you are using a UMI-7764 refer to the
Connecting and Using the NI ISM-7400/7401/
section.
Step 1: Connect and Configure the UMI-7772/7774
Complete the following steps to connect and configure the UMI-7772/7774.
Tip
For more information about connecting external power, encoders, and other
motion I/O signals to the UMI-7772/7774, refer to the
National Instruments
Universal Motion Interface (UMI)-7772/7774 User Manual and Specifications
.
1.
Connect the SHC68-C68-S 68-pin shielded cable between the Motion I/O connector on the
NI 73xx motion controller and the Motion I/O connector on the UMI-7772/7774.
2.
Configure the UMI-7772/7774 DIP switches. You must set the UMI-7772/7774 switches to
the following settings to match the polarity configuration for the NI ISM-74xx:
•
Fault—Active High
•
Enable—Active High
