I recently upgraded my LabVIEW project from LabVIEW 2017 to LabVIEW 2024 due to a Windows update. The PC is connected to a cRIO-9030, which is linked to an EtherCAT device with multiple inputs.
In the LabVIEW Project Explorer, I can detect the EtherCAT device, but not all of its sub-items. When I try to deploy the EtherCAT configuration, I get an error stating that I need to import the profiles via the *XML configuration of the MFCs.
However, when I attempt to import the XML profile, I receive the following error:
"NI-Industrial Communications for EtherCAT: The software cannot import the device profile."
I've checked the Industrial Communications for EtherCAT help documentation, but haven’t found a solution.
In addition, I can successfully deploy some sub-devices that do not require an XML configuration, so I don’t believe this is a connection or device detection issue.
Has anyone encountered this issue before or found a workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
