CIF-50PB Profibus on QNX4.25.

Hi. there.
I’m trying to install CIF-50PB Profibus on QNX4.25.

In the document of Hilscher, “Description for QNX4 driver for Hilscher
cards.doc”, followings are shown.


Attention With the Email transfer the file looses the flag for execution.

On Your system you have to set them, with the command chmod a+x cifdriver.

[Q] cifdriver is an executable driver program for QNX4?


The default path for the cifdriver is: /usr/bin


The default path for the configuration file is: /etc

[Q] what is the configuration file and where?

When the configuration file is an other path, the cifdriver has to get name
in the command line. Example : cifdriver ‘MyPath/MyName’ &

[Q] I think a driver program like “*.dll” for WINDOW must exist in QNX4 too.



Any help appreciated.



Thanks.

Yes that makes sense.

The default path for the cifdriver is: /usr/bin

Don’t know probably in the email.

When the configuration file is an other path, the cifdriver has to get
name in the command line. Example : cifdriver ‘MyPath/MyName’ &

No wrong assumption. cifdriver is the driver. Maybe you should try to
get some help from the people that made the driver.

Any help appreciated.



Thanks.

Thanks Mario Charest.

→ I can’t find the configuration file. There are some demo program *.c, *h.

In the cifdriver, followings are contained. It is a text file, not a driver
program.

Just for clarification:

The software for Hilscher boards has nothing to do with STEINHOFF
Automation & Fieldbus-Systems !!!

I have to point out as we are internationally known for fieldbus support
under QNX. Often were done conclusions to our DACHS software when
engineers heard of problems with fieldbus boards from Hilscher.

PROFIBUS-DP software from STEINHOFF comes e.g. with a PHOTON based
Configuration, Management & Diagnosis tool and supports update cycles
down to 500 us!

We offer packages for PROFIBUS boards from Siemens, Softing and Kontron
(PEP).

Sorry if anyone sees my comments as marketing, but we are really tired
of getting blamed from time to time for QNX-based software as well as
for a crash-project we have nothing to do with …
