Hi Shako,

 

The best way to get started with using multi node communication is probably by checking out the EasyIOMultipleDevice.vi example in the example finder. It is located in the Hardware Input and Output >> DeviceNet folder, as shown below.

I hope that helps, let us know if you have any further questions.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the help.

I found in the documentation that when you call for an event you get the mac id and other information needed for multinodes.

This is not what is in my example folder.  there are only two projects which aren't working.  How do i find these examples?  I am using LabVIEW 2010, have installed a PCI 8532 DeviceNet Board and wish to communicate with an MKS mass flow controller.

 

thanks,

chaz

Hi chaz,

 

If you are using LabVIEW, you should post to the LabVIEW forum - this one is intended for CVI 😉
