Connect to Metso ND9000F Foundation Fieldbus valve positioner using PACWare 4.1 and a NI USB-8486

[MuzGrobler]

I get the following error every time I want to connect or go-online to the fieldbus device:

"Failed to initialize FMS connection."

USB Interface: NI USB-8486

Software: PACTware 4.1

PACTWare DTM used: CodeWright's - CodeFFCommDTM

OS: XP Pro SP3

Using the NI-FBUS Dailog Utility 4.1.1, I can establish a: session - link and interface to the device but can't connect successfully through PACTware?

Hi,

Sorry for late reply.

FF H1 Communication DTM requires license and we don't own one. 

Also regarding the expertise on PactWare/CM DTM, I would recommand you to ask support from CodeWright or ICS.

Thanks LewisL

We are also using the free DTM from CodeWright.

And have tried to get help from both PACTware and CodeWright without any luck.
