Today ,a real-time box in our lab didnot
work. I used this station on Tuesday of this week and a 6024E in the real-time box to run the a control on a DC brush
motor. The real time box has a dedicated VI in it for your undergraduate controls lab. Did I mess anything up by loading another real-time
application? I deployed the application, I did not FTP it.
Today, the host (Windows box) box would not communicate with the real-time box. Every time I send a command (such
as “turn on amp”) nothing happens and eventually the communication times
out. Using the Measurements and Automation Explorer, I was able to find
the real-time box, however I was not able to find the two DAQ cards in the
unit. I could issue the command to reboot and it did. I played with
it for a 30 minutes, but talking to the box never worked.
