Is provided and documented in a separate package. The SEA 802.11p – cRIO Drivers (SEA 9719) package provides access to configure the SEA 9719 cRIO module. SEA 802.11p implementations can be created by using basic data transfer functions provided by the SEA 802.11p –...
4 Installation There is a driver software for the module SEA 9719 named SEA 802.11p – cRIO Drivers (SEA 9719). The driver software has to be installed on a development PC only (please refer to the hardware requirements in sec- tion 4.1 below).
Refer to the hardware manual of the module for proper installation of the hardware. Please follow the steps below to get the SEA 9719 module up and running: 1. Install the SEA 9719 driver software. For this, the JKI VI Packet Manager (VIPM) is required. If VIPM is →...

Fig. 4. Fig. 4: Quick Start – Project after configuration The project is now fully configured including the SEA 9719 module (see red framed items in the project tree in Fig. 4). You can continue from here to learn how to use the SEA 802.11p – LabVIEW API functions. For this, please refer to the documentation and the example LabVIEW projects of the separate VI package SEA 802.11p –...
6 Functional Overview 6.1 CompactRIO (cRIO) Platform The SEA 9719 module is compatible with all CompactRIO and CompactDAQ (with real time controller) chassis from National Instruments. With CompactRIO systems the full range of functionality is available, including Ethernet interface and FPGA (FPGA for meta data only). As CompactDAQ systems do not provide the FPGA ca- pability, the FPGA functionality is not available for them.
PC through the Ethernet port. In order to ensure a discovery of the module, the IP address of the SEA 9719 module and of the PC should be located in the same subnet range. The default IP address of the SEA 9719 module is 192.168.24.200, if a factory reset is executed it also gets set back to that address.

8 Programming For SEA 9719 module programming, the development system requires the installation of two pack- ages: the SEA 9719 driver software and the SEA 802.11p – LabVIEW API software packages (see Chapter 4). This chapter just describes the usage of the module's FPGA I/O Property Nodes which allow to read the module's meta data (serial number, module ID, and vendor ID).

Reported by Description Module Errors 65536 any node No module or invalid module type found. Please insert SEA 9719 module into the correct slot. 65537 any node Incorrect module type found. Only SEA 9719 modules will work with this driver version. Please check if all modules are inserted into the right slot.
Deployment 9 Deployment If an application containing the SEA 9719 is deployed to a run-time target system (NI CompactRIO) the fol- lowing parts are necessary to be deployed along with the compiled application (i.e. rtexe): LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 2014 or higher...
1. Make sure you have the CompactRIO system powered and tected within LabVIEW connected to your PC. 2. Make sure you have installed the current SEA 9719 driver software ≥ 3. If previous driver versions exist, uninstall them properly before...
