cRIO remote programming

[ahmelsayed]

Hello Everyone,

Is there anyway to remotely access the cRIO and program it from a local Station (My PC)?

Thanks in advance,

Ahmed

What do you mean by "remotely" in this case? The only way to program a cRIO is over the network. You need to have the LabVIEW Real-Time toolkit installed, along with support for your cRIO. Then, you can add your cRIO as a target to your LabVIEW project, by right-clicking the project within the project explorer and choosing add target. Once the cRIO is part of the project, add VIs under that target to run them on the cRIO. See the help for the real-time module for more detailed instructions.

hello nathand,

I mean by remotly that I'm with my laptop in a place -say the office- and the crio is in another different place may be another country.

Is that possible?!

Sounds like a good application for a VPN server on the network your cRIO is on.

Do you have any documentation or link that have more details that i can use to implement it?

That's something best answered by the IT department.

The cRIO doesn't care how close or far away you are, so long as you can establish a TCP connection to it on the required ports. As was previously mentioned, you'll have to work this out with your IT department. You may need to use a VPN. Once the VPN connection is established, you connect to the cRIO the normal way.
