FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Can the PCI PROFIBUS operate as a master or a slave?

Yes. NI specifies both master and slave operation.

Why might the hardware or driver show COMSOFT or KUNBUS branding?

KUNBUS acquired COMSOFT's Industrial Communication product lines. NI documents the PCI PROFIBUS board identifier change from 198983A-01 to 198983B-01 and states that the API structure did not change.

What should I check if a built LabVIEW executable cannot find the interface?

NI's troubleshooting article recommends checking the device connection, verifying that NI-VISA Runtime is installed, and placing the device driver's DLL/LLB in the project folder.
