Solution
Using VeriStand 2015 and CompactRIO 15.0 and Later Versions
Using the NI-986x module in a CompactRIO directly:
Leave the
986x Support tab of the
Port Settings blank when configuring the XNET port:
Using the NI-986x module in an EtherCAT expansion chassis:
- Leave the 986x Support tab of the Port Settings blank when configuring the XNET port, just like when using in a CompactRIO chassis.
- Save the VeriStand System Definition and close the System Explorer.
- Open the VeriStand System Definition XML file in a text editor.
- Move the Custom Device Section above the Hardware Section in the VeriStand System Definition XML.
- Save and close the VeriStand System Definition XML file.
- Try deploying the System Definition.
Using VeriStand Before 2015 and RIO Driver Before CompactRIO 15.0
Make sure you compile the FPGA bitfile in LabVIEW with a project that contains the 986x module(s) and other necessary modules in the cRIO chassis. Check to make sure you are pointing to the correct bitfile.
