Why is my device not showing up?

[Tom124]

Hello,

I am new to Fieldbus and could use some help getting started. I am having trouble seeing my device in the NI Configurator software. I have Communications manager running and it looks like I can see my NI USB-8486 adapter but I cannot see the device on the other side of the adapter.

I have attached a Word doc with some screen shots.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi,

Please get a termination and try again.

It seems that the device isn't powered on correctly.

Thanks.

Chris

Thanks for your reply. I will try that and post results.

You were correct, thank you. Once I added the Relcom FCS-PH-CC Terminator/Power Supply it worked.

Screen shot attached...
