Adding Nrio Points

This procedure describes how to add and configure the NrioPoints in a NrioDevice.
Prerequisites:
 
NOTE: Nrio I/O point components are required to reside in a certain NrioDevice component, i.e. they must have a NrioDevice as their parent component.
 

Once added, you need to configure the NrioPoint’s Point Index property to map the component to a certain I/O. If the value of Point Index property is invalid ( duplicated or out of valid range), the status of that component will be in fault.


Perform the following steps:
  1. Open a Property Sheet (or Wire Sheet) view of the NrioDevice.
  2. From the ACE Catalog, drag a point of the desired type onto the view.
  3. On the Property Sheet for the point, configure the following properties:
    • For Point Index enter the number of the I/O (e.g., for ao1, you enter “1”).
    • ForInputs, select the input type (Resistance or Voltage).
