Issue Details

I need to connect to Keyence PLC using Create Assembly Instance.vi as stated in the user manual but I could not find the VI. Where is the VI located?

Solution

Create Assembly Instance.vi is a shipping example that come with NI Industrial Communications for Ethernet/IP driver add-on.
After you install the above driver, open NI Example Finder dialog from LabVIEW's Help >>  Find Examples.. and look for EtherNetIP Adapter.lvproj. It is located under Hardware Input and Output >> NI-Industrial Communications >> EtherNetIP folder.
