Deploy to cRIO changes CSeries modules from FPGA to RTScan

[Kevin.MN]

Hi,

Which link are you referring to? 

[mjochinsen]

I am referring to this link in the attachments ModuleProgrammingModes.zip:

Knowledge Base article.

I have a similar problem. As soon as I deploy my Real-Time (9045), the card on Slot2 (of the 9045) Program Mode switches back to Real-Time Scan (IO Variables), no matter what I saved on NI-MAX, no matter what card is on slot2.

My systems has a 9045 Chassis, with a 9145 etherCAT extension chassis.

To find out the cause, I created a new project and started adding items. The cause is the C module 9381 on the 9145 chassis. Once I add this module on slot 2 of the extension chassis, then slot 2 on the 9045 chassis becomes the issue I just described.

Regarding the solution, I could not download the link in the article above.

Also, when I try to use cRIO System Configuration, I get an error saying the hardware is not supported.

Thank you

I found another trigger that causes the problem.

In LabView my project, I need to configure the 9401 card to be an output instead of input, once I deploy to the chassis, Slot 2 (of the 9045) Program Mode switches back to Real-Time Scan (IO Variables).

Still hoping for a solution.

In case it helps, this is the code I put in to initialise my modules to fpga mode at the beginning of my RT code.

stuartparkinson thank you for the code. It worked perfectly!

I believe the issue is already fixed in CompactRIO 18.5:
