Getting Started with the NI Configurator
 
The NI Configurator comes with complete instructions for installing the NI Fieldbus card and Configurator 
software. The instructions that came with the software should be followed carefully, ensuring that the 
software is installed and running properly. This document is not meant to cover NI Configurator software 
installation, or troubleshooting. Flowserve does not offer technical support for the NI Configurator. 
 
Configurator Configuration: 
 
Launch the NI-FBUS Config utility (icon seen to the left). Select Port0. Click 
the Edit button. Make sure the settings are selected to match the settings in 
Figure 2 below.

With these values entered click, OK twice to save and exit the configuration. 
DD Installation: While still in the Configuration utility select Board0, and click the DD Info button. Take note 
of DD base directory field. This is the root directory for the DD installation; any root directory is acceptable. 
The DDs must be installed in the correct location in order for the Configurator to find them. From the 
directory listed in base (root) directory field, create the sub-directory 464C53. In the 464C53 directory, create 
the subdirectory 0202. Install the DDs in the 0202 directory. Two files with the same four-digit hexadecimal 
name should be found, along with different file extensions (XXXX.ffo and XXXX.sym). These are the DDs.
