Unpack and confirm the contents of box (see the Specifications tables in the Hardware
Reference Guide for each Controller).
Connect all rear panel components and supply power to the NI Controller from the external
power supply.
Configuration and Communication
The general steps involved with setting up and communicating with the NI Controllers’ on-board Master.
In the initial communication process:
Set the communication speed on the front Configuration DIP switch (default = 38400).
Connect and communicate with the on-board Master via the Program port.
Set the System Value being used with the on-board Master.
Re-assign any Device values.
You can then either get a DHCP Address for the on-board Master or assign a Static IP to the
on-board Master.
Once the IP information is determined, rework the parameters for Master Communication in
order to connect to the on-board Master via the Ethernet and not the Program port.
