Resetting the NI 9144 Network Configuration

To reset the NI 9144 network configuration, unplug and replug in the

NI9 144 chassis.

Safe-State Outputs

The NI 9144 has a safe state that lies between its configuration and

operational states. When moving out of the operational state down to the

configuration state, during normal operation or in case of a serious error,

the NI 9144 passes through this safe state.

The safe state forces the data of output modules to pre-defined safe values,

which are set by default to output zero volts for the default channel

configuration. It is possible to change the safe values as needed by writing

to the appropriate object dictionary entries for your output module.

Slave Timing Modes

There are two fundamental timing modes the NI 9144 can operate in:

free-run and synchronized using the EtherCAT distributed clock through

DC synchronized mode.

In free-run mode the NI 9144, by default, runs its conversion cycle as

quickly as the slowest module allows. It is possible to slow the free-run

conversion cycle down by writing a minimum cycle time in nanoseconds to

the NI 9144’s index 0x3001.1.

In DC synchronized mode the NI 9144 begins each conversion cycle on a

signal from the EtherCAT Master/scan engine. If the external cycle time is

too fast for the given module configuration, the NI 9144 signals an error.

Updating your Firmware

Firmware updates are performed via the File over EtherCAT (FoE)

download protocol. All NI firmware update files have a suffix of.foe and

have internal identification information that guides the NI 9144 during the

update. Refer to your specific master software documentation for the

procedure of sending FoE downloads.

The NI 9144 firmware update does not use the filename or password

information.
