Ni Software Installation Order
I am going to do a major National Instruments installation and want to make sure I have the order of operations correct. I am going to install the following: - NI-DAQ 6.1.1 - Componentworks v2 - Labview v5 - Componentworks v2 update - Labview v5.0.1 update What is the correct order to install all of these packages?

The.NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software.
I'd like to get it right the first time. I'm confused because some packages seem to update others (newer labview VI's, newer componentworks examples, etc.) I'd appreciate your help. Thank You Sent via Deja.com Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
This document covers software and hardware setup for a TSN enabled devices from National Instruments. The document is split into three sections based on a hardware. TSN enabled cDAQ-9185 and cDAQ-9189 Software: Here is a list of minimum required software for the host development PC in order to program cDAQ-9185 and cDAQ-9189: -During the installation please follow every installation prompt and restart your PC when requested. It is also very important that you install the software in the order listed above. Once you are done installing DAQmx driver your host PC is ready. Hardware: The best place to learn about TSN enabled cDAQ hardware is to reference. For 802.1as networking and network topology options reference of the user manual.
Once you're done with software and hardware setup the next best place to continue is to look over cDAQ TSN. TSN enabled cRIO-9035 (Sync) and cRIO-9039 (Sync) Software: The table below shows list of minimum required software for the host development PC per version of the TSN driver. Please follow the same order of installation as listed in the table. Minimum Software Stack with the TSN 17.0 Driver Minimum Software Stack with the TSN 17.5 Driver (optional) (optional). DAQmx 17.6 is included with the CompactRIO Device Drivers 17.6.Only needed if if you want to control cDAQ TSN from a cRIO (sync) During the installation please follow every installation prompt and restart your PC when requested. Hardware:. Connect one end of an ethernet cable into port 2 on the controller and another end into a normal DHCP switch or directly into the host PC ethernet port.
Here we are just simply trying to make a connection between host pc and cRIO. Do same connection for each cRIO you wish to program. Now connect power supply to cRIOs and let them boot up (around 15 seconds). On your PC, open NI-MAX and confirm all cRIOs are visible under Remote Systems tab, you should have similar view as the screenshot bellow. Here you can check IP addresses assigned to each cRIO. Under cRIO right click on the Software and select Add/Remove Software. In the installation window select NI CompactRIO 17.0 - May 2017 and click next.
In the next window scroll down and check TSN Features box. This is all necessary software required for TSN. If you are planning to control cDAQ chassis from the industrial controller you will need to go back and select 'Custom Software Installation'. In the custom installation select DAQmx 17.1 and LabVIEW TSN Toolkit EAR 17.0.
All other dependencies will be selected automatically. Click the Next button to proceed with the installation.
Once the installation completes, the controller is ready to be used. CRIO (Sync) TSN Network Topology: cRIO (Sync) consists of two ethernet ports, ethernet port 1(in SW its refereed as eth0) and ethernet port 2 (in SW its refereed as eth1). Looking at the physical face-plate of a cRIO ethernet ports are labeled with number '1' and '2'. Only port 1 is TSN enabled and therefore this is the port that should be plugged into a TSN network. The beauty of TSN is 'sharing a wire' and therefore it is not necessary to leave this port dedicated to only TSN, the same port can be used for other communications such as target-to-host communication, TCP/IP, UDP etc. The second ethernet port can be used for exactly same tasks except TSN. However many times its easier to use port 2 for host-target communication (code deployment) and leave port 1 for TSN and other network communications.
Two cRIOs (Sync) can be directly connected together to achieve clock synchronization and enable deterministic data transfer between two cRIOs. Simple connect both cRIOs ethernet port 1 together using CAT5(or higher) ethernet cable. Use the secondary port for host to target communication. For simplicity image below does not show host to target connection.
Use port 2 of each cRIO to connect cRIOs to host PC via ordinary network switch or connect cRIO directly into a computer. Two cRIO (sync) connected directly to each other In order to connected three or more cRIOs you will need TSN enabled switch such as Cisco IE 4000. For more information about obtaining Cisco switch. CISCO IE-4000-8GT4G-E switch allows connections of up to 16 TSN devices in a star topology as shown in the image below. For simplicity this image does not contain Ethernet port 2 connections to host PC. You can further expand your network adding additional TSN switches.
Simply connect any TSN enabled port on both switches using another ethernet cable. Industrial Controllers IC-3171, IC-3172 and IC-3173 Software: The table below shows list of minimum required software for the host development PC per version of the TSN driver. Please follow the same order of installation as listed in the table. Minimum Software Stack with the TSN 17.0 Driver Minimum Software Stack with the TSN 17.5 Driver (optional) (optional). DAQmx 17.6 is included with the CompactRIO Device Drivers 17.6.Only needed if if you want to control cDAQ TSN from a cRIO (sync) During the installation please follow every installation prompt and restart your PC when requested. Hardware:.
Connect primary ethernet port with host PC over ordinary ethernet switch or directly.Primary ethernet switch is the one next to blue USB 3.0 ports. On your PC, open NI-MAX and confirm all ICs are visible under Remote Systems tab, you should have similar view as the screenshot bellow. Here you can check IP addresses assigned to the industrial controller. Under IC right click on the Software and select Add/Remove Software.
In the installation window select NI Industrial Controller 17.1.1 - June 2017 and click next. If you are planning to control cDAQ chassis from the industrial controller you will need to go back and select 'Custom Software Installation'.
In the custom installation select DAQmx 17.1 and LabVIEW TSN Toolkit EAR 17.0. All other dependencies will be selected automatically. Click the Next button to proceed with the installation.
Once the installation completes, the controller is ready to be used. Once installation completes industrial controller will reboot and your system is ready to be used.
Industrial Controller TSN Network Topology: Industrial controller contains 4 ethernet ports located on the top left corner of the IC faceplate. Any of these 4 ports can be used to connect to a TSN network. As a reminder, the port that you select for TSN does not need to remain dedicated to TSN network. TSN 'shares wire' and therefore you can continue using same port/wire for other tasks such as TCP/IP or UDP communications. Network topology for Industrial Controller is same as for cRIO.
That is, you can connect two TSN devices directly together using ethernet wire, if you need more then three devices you will need to use TSN enabled switch. Mix network of cRIOs and ICs might look something like this: You can also add TSN enabled cDAQ controllers into TSN network. One instance of such network might look like this. For more information about TSN network topology refer to. If you experience any problems during software installation or have general questions post them in comments below.
