power_monitoring_with_cRIO_Starter_Kit

[Soedarman]

Hi,

I'm using Labview 2011. I have downloaded the "power_monitoring_with_cRIO_Starter_Kit". In this kit the cRIO-9024 (with cRIO-9111 chassis) is used. Now I want to use this kit to use with the cRIO-9022 (with the cRIO-9114 chassis).

This is explained in the 'How to Get Started With the Power Monitoring Starter Kit for NI CompactRIO". So the project "PQ Starter Kit" should be opened in the Labview Project Explorer and be saved as a Duplicate and include all the dependencies. So I did that, but on a certain moment it searches for the file "PQ Starter Kit.lvp~2D_FPGA Target_[FPGA] Main.vi.lvbit", that cannot be found anywhere. After canceling this, it continues to make a copy, but in the end it gives a warning: see attachment.

So I checked the 'PQ Starter Kit" in the Labview Project Explorer and there I see 3 triangles with exclamation marks and one of them is: ! PQ Starter Kit.lvp~2D_FPGA Target_[FPGA] Main.vi.lvbit [Warning: has been deleted, renamed or moved on disk].

I have downloaded and extracted the Starter Kit just as it is...

Who has any idea how to get this done right?

Hello Soedarman,

How familiar are you with FPGA's and bitfiles?

Normally this bitfile can be found in the directory of the original project.

Because you are going to use another cRIO Chassis and therefore also another FPGA Target, this bitfile will have to be recreated/recompiled.

Of course this explanation will only make sense if you're kind of familiar with the concept of FPGA.

If you would prefer that I recreate the project for you and send you the zip-file, then I can always do this.

Which version of LabVIEW are you using?

Hello Thierry,

I'm a little familiar with FPGA, since I just started to use the cRIO, but in the original project there is a file "PQ Starter Kit.lvp~2D_FPGA Target_[FPGA] Main.vi.lvbitx", not "PQ Starter Kit.lvp~2D_FPGA Target_[FPGA] Main.vi.lvbit". Mind the 'x' at the end. But it would be nice if you create the project, so I can compare later.

Another thing. There is also a project about Electrical Power Measurement System (made for lv8.6 and lv2009), but here they use the CompactDAQ. They also use the EPM Palette. My question, in Real-Time with cRIO, how should I connect the Voltage Input of the NI 9225 and the Current Input of the NI 9227 to respectively the Phasor and the Power Blocks? Maybe you can give some advice about this also.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Soedarman,

First of all: Happy New Year!

About the original question.

Have you tried a recompilation of the FPGA-part of the project for your new target?

About the second question:

I think you might be mixing up 2 different concepts.

If I understand it correctly, then you're trying to use the CompactDAQ example on the cRIO.

Are you familiar with the architectural (hardware) differences between a cRIO and a cDAQ?

Hello Soedarman,

Please ignore this earlier post.

I just have seen that you also answered on the parallel post:
