Error -2147138442 When Deploying to an Industrial Controller or CompactRIO

Issue Details

I try to connect or deploy to my Industrial Controller (IC) or CompactRIO (cRIO) in VeriStand and I get the following message:

Error -2147138442: The module cannot be found. If the physical module exists, and the device is in FPGA mode, recompiling and downloading may fix this problem.

When I right-click on a module in my project, and try to run it in scan engine mode, I also get the error. 

Solution

There are a couple of troubleshooting steps we can take to try and resolve this:

• If the device is running in FPGA mode, recompile and redeploy the code.
• Reset the device by pressing the 'Reset' button on the chassis.
• Power down the chassis, remove each module being used, and then place the modules back in.
• Create a new project from scratch and re-add the device (right-click Project>>New>>Targets and Devices)
  • First, try the Existing target or device option, along with the Discover an existing target... and then the Specify a target or device by IP address options.
  • Next, try the New target or device option, and manually associate the IP address after adding it to the project by right-clicking the Device>>Properties.
• Format the device using the steps outlined in this KB and create a new project with it.
• Try deploying and then undeploying all the modules directly from LabVIEW. After that, the deployment in VeriStand should succeed.

If those steps don't resolve the issue, contact NI Support.
