Ballard MIL 1553B Configuring as RT

[Pavithran111]

HI,

I'm Using Ballard MIL 1553B

Model: 222-550-000

I need to create and configure a RT (RT address:2, sub address:1,word count:32) to send 32 bytes of data to external BC.

when I use examples (RT receive data example modified to send data/receive data) I'm not getting any kind of data in both in RX mode and TX mode also. If I configure it as BC instead of RT I can able to get a data (under MT mode).

I need a help to create and configure the RT as like as above mentioned

Is this related to LabVIEW at all?

[Pavithran111]

yeah, Im programming in LabVIEW 2015 using Ballard 1553 API

You might be seeing a bug I ran into last year.  Astronics found an error in the DLLs.  I don't know if that fix ever got released.  They got me a beta version and it worked just fine.

Otherwise, I would need to see you code and configuration file (assuming you are using the XML configuration setup) to try to dig any more.

Yeah I'm using XML file to configure the RT. I had attached the image my VI, XML config. and VIs

But your code is writing 4 bytes to RT 5 subaddress 16.  You need to update the rtAddress in the XML file to 2, the subAddress to 1 in the XML, and get RT index 2 from the array of RTs in the LabVIEW code.

Yes, I did that

even though I can't able to send or receive any data that's my problem. Im using multiple RT's In that this also a valid one.

This is the version on Ballard Driver I'm using for 1553

I have 2.12 installed and they had to send me an update for the BTICardLV dlls

[Pavithran111]

Could you please share the driver or link to download that.
