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:

Open a Property Sheet (or Wire Sheet) view of the NrioDevice.
From the ACE Catalog, drag a point of the desired type onto the view.
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).
