Sync, cRIO-904
x
, and cDAQ-9132/9133/9134/9135/9136/9137 for LabVIEW
Real-Time.
1
To network the FieldDAQ device to a Real-Time controller, you need the following items:
•
Supported Real-Time controller
•
LabVIEW software, if not already installed
•
LabVIEW Real-Time Module, if not already installed
2
•
Driver for the Real-Time controller, if not already installed
•
NI-DAQmx driver, if not already installed
•
FieldDAQ device
•
5-pin L-coded M12 power cable
•
8-pin X-coded M12 Ethernet cable
3
•
External power supply
Complete the following steps.
1.
Install the LabVIEW, LabVIEW Real-Time Module, and controller driver software on the
host machine as instructed in the getting started or quick start document for the Real-
Time controller.
2.
Install NI-DAQmx on the host machine if the driver was not installed in step 1.
a.
Download NI-DAQmx from
ni.com/downloads/drivers
. Complete the instructions.
b.
Register your NI hardware online at
ni.com/register
when prompted.
c.
Download NI-DAQmx to the target using MAX. Refer to the
MAX Remote Systems
Help
by selecting
Help
»
Help Topics
»
Remote Systems
in MAX.
If you have problems installing your software, go to
ni.com/support/daqmx
.
3.
Set up your Real-Time controller hardware and install software to it as instructed in the
getting started or quick start document for the Real-Time controller.
4.
For CompactRIO and IC controllers, perform a custom installation of the NI-DAQmx
feature to the controller. In MAX, expand
Remote Systems
»
your Real-Time Controller
,
and use the
Add/Remove Software
option. Select the custom installation option and the
NI-DAQmx feature, then follow the prompts to complete the installation.
5.
Carefully align and connect one end of the Ethernet cable to Ethernet port 0 on the
FieldDAQ device, and the other end to a switch or network connection on the same
subnet as your Real-Time controller, or directly to an open network port on your Real-
Time controller. For more information about the recommended configurations for
networking the FieldDAQ device in a Real-Time system, refer to
Topology Options
.
6.
Power the device by carefully aligning and connecting the power IN port on FieldDAQ to
an external 9 V DC to 30 V DC power source with the 5-pin L-coded M12 power cable.
For information about wiring your external power source to the power connector, refer to
Wiring External Power to the FieldDAQ Device
. The FieldDAQ device requires an
external power supply that meets the specifications listed in the
FD-11613 Specifications
.
The Power LED lights. Refer to
Power LED
for information about Power LED status.
1
The cDAQ-9138/9139 for LabVIEW Real-Time controllers will not work in this configuration.
2
LabVIEW Real-Time 2017 or later required to use the FieldDAQ synchronization features.
3
You can either use a shielded straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable to
connect the FieldDAQ device directly to your computer.
