5.
(Optional) Complete this step only if the target has an empty IP address (0.0.0.0). Select the
Network Settings
tab and select
DHCP or Link Local
from the
Configure IPv4 Address
list to assign an IP address or select
Static
to specify a static IP address in the
IPv4 Address
section.
6.
Click
Save
on the toolbar and let MAX reboot the system.
7.
When the new system name appears under
Remote Systems
, expand the controller item in
the tree, right-click
Software
, and select
Add/Remove Software
.
8.
Install the LabVIEW Real-Time software and NI-Motion on the RT target. Go to
ni.com/
info
and enter
etspc
for the latest information about supported software.
9.
Click
Next
to install the selected software on the controller. Click
Help
if you need
information about installing recommended software sets.
10. Wait for installation to complete, then click
Finish
.
11. Expand the
Devices and Interfaces
item under the PXI system.
12. Right-click the remote motion controller icon and select
Map to Local Machine
. This
assigns a local board ID to the remote motion controller in the host system.
Mapping the remote controller into the local system allows you to configure the controller
through MAX exactly as you would a controller that is in the host system. You can initialize
the controller, download firmware, and use the interactive and configuration panels exactly
as you would on a controller installed in the host machine. You also can write VIs using the
remote motion controller through the local board ID assigned to it.
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.
13. 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.
14. Close MAX.

Configuration and Installation
This section covers the hardware setup for the NI UMI-7772/7774 and NI SMD-7620/7621
stepper drive. If you are using a UMI-7764 refer to the
NI SMD-7620/7621 with the NI UMI-7764
section.
