profinet cRIO ProfiNet IO C - Series

[Ahmad Zainul Abidin]

Just recently I bought the cRIO Profinet IO C - Series module, it came with a CD so first thing I did was install whatever necessary from the CD into my computer.

 

Next thing I did was follow every single step provided from

http://download.ni.com/support/softlib//embedded%20networks/NI-Industrial%20Communication/profinet/GettingStarted_cRIO_PN_IO-Device.pdf

except for Step 3 where it ask me to import my GmBH file into the native software  of my other controller (the example uses Siemen S7 HW config) which I want to communicate to because that other controller is still not available for me.

 

Before the other controller becomes available, I need to make sure that this module is working as needed.

 

However, at the fourth step I am stuck due the inability to compile the FPGA Example attached with the Comsoft installer CD that came along with the module.

 

first I tried with the Ethernet RIO NI-9146, then I thought maybe the error was due to the absence of a controller.

I switched to cRIO-9014 just to make sure, and the same error pops up.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

This looks like a general fPGA compile issue. You can confirm this by creating a really basic VI and seeing if it has the same issue. Has this machine ever compiled successfully?
