Issue:

During the PROFIBUS configuration with the Configurator 3 an issue occurs which doesn't allow to configure the cRIO PBMS.

The cRIO PBMS used in the latest cRIO Controllers/Chassis (9055 / 9057 / 9058) need to be configured as described below.

The hardware doesn't show up in the Configurator 3 Hardware Selection

Sources:

Download and extract the files

 

Copy the bitfiles to your PC:

 

“C:\Program Files (x86)\KUNBUS GmbH\Configurator III\BitFiles\”

Solution:

Iit is now possible to configure KUNBUS modules for cRIO-9055 with Configurator III with the following workaround.

  1. Please install the PBMS package incl. Configurator III from VI Package Manager if not done yet

  2. Download the attatched CS_LV_VISA.DLL file

    1. rename the original CS_LV_VISA.DLL to back it up.

    2. copy the downloaded DLL file to C:\Program Files (x86)\Kunbus GmbH\Configurator III\

    3. While the modified CS_LV_VISA.DLL is added, the online/monitor mode of Configurator III will not work even with previous cRIO Chassis.

    4. If you would work with cRIO Chassis published pre LabVIEW 2019 using the online/monitor mode, please rename the original DLL file to CS_LV_VISA.DLL.

  3. Download the attatched bitfile CSLVVISA_cRIO-9055[4].lbvitx

    1. copy it to C:\Program Files (x86)\KUNBUS GmbH\Configurator III\BitFiles\

  4. Start Configurator III.

Please note due to changes at the NI´s FPGA-API it is currently not possible to use the online/monitor mode of Configurator III. However, the download process will complete successfuly and the diagnose messages might be read out by executing our Getting Started example.
