Hello,
I am working on an application in LabVIEW with an NI-DNET card, and an EuroTherm Mini8 controller, which has polled input of 80 bytes and output of 48 bytes.
I started everything off with EasyIOConfig (feeding it the correct I/O sizes), indexed the Device Handler, passed them into a While Loop. Inside the While Loop, I have Read DeviceNet I/O, and Write DeviceNet I/O, and feeding them with Convert From DeviceNet Read, and Convert For DeviceNet Write, respectively, with desired byte offsets specified.
Reading works perfect. I have trouble writing to some output. I have wired an indicator to the data line going into Write DeviceNet I/O, (which should give me a read of the output buffer, right?). I can only address the first 8 bytes. Outputs in the first 8 bytes work, Byte 8 and on are grayed out and do no respond to input. Input for Byte 42, writes data to Byte 4 for some reason.
I played with it for a while, tweaking different things. At one point, I was able to address the first 14 bytes, but the offset did not do anything - it simply put the I16 data input sequentially into the output buffer. Tried using different data types to define the offset, reloading the Ni-DNET drivers, no dice.
I am building the EXE from a PC running LabVIEW 8.6 (no DNET card), and running it on another PC with DNET card and hardware installed, if it makes a difference.
Any ideas?
