C. NI 9146/7/8/9 Ethernet RIO Expansion Chassis

Complete the following steps to add the device to the project and detect the C Series modules if 

the NI 9146/7/8/9 Ethernet RIO Expansion chassis is being used.
1. Right-click the top-level project item in the 

Project Explorer

 window and select 

New»

Targets and Devices

 from the shortcut menu to display the 

Add Targets and Devices

 

dialog box.

2. Make sure that the 

Existing target or device

 radio button is selected.

3. Expand 

Ethernet RIO

.

4. Select the Ethernet RIO expansion chassis to add to the project and click 

OK

.

5. If you have LabVIEW FPGA installed, the 

Select Programming Mode

 dialog box 

appears. Select 

Scan Interface

 to put the system into Scan Interface mode.

Tip

Use the 

Chassis Properties

 dialog box to change the programming mode in an 

existing project. Right-click the chassis in the 

Project Explorer

 window and select 

Properties

 from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box.

6. Click 

Discover

 in the 

Discover C Series Modules?

 dialog box if it appears.

7. Click 

Continue

.

8. Right-click the controller item in the 

Project Explorer

 window and select 

Properties

 from 

the shortcut menu to display the 

Ethernet RIO Properties

 dialog box. Select 

Scan Engine

 

from the 

Category

 list to display the Scan Engine page. 

9. Set the 

Scan Period

 to 5 ms or lower, then click 

OK

 to close the 

Ethernet RIO Properties

 

dialog box.

Step 3: Adding an NI SoftMotion Axis to the Project

Complete the following steps to create a LabVIEW project. 
1. Right-click the controller item in the 

Project Explorer

 window and select 

New»NI 

SoftMotion Axis

 from the shortcut menu to open the 

Axis Manager

 dialog box, shown in 

Figure 12.

2. Click 

Add New Axis

 to create an NI SoftMotion axis associated with the NI 9514 or 

NI 9516 module. Axes are automatically bound to an available module. You can 

double-click the axis name to rename the axis and give it a descriptive name.
