Double-click the setup.exe file in the root directory of the NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP installer and follow the instructions on the screen to install NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP on the host.

Use NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to install NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP on RT targets.

With this release, NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP drops support for Microsoft Windows 8.0, Windows 7 RTM (with no service pack), Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP 16.0 and later will not install or run on an unsupported OS. You cannot deploy or distribute applications that use NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP 16.0 to an unsupported OS. Additionally, after installing NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP 16.0, you cannot use any installers built on this computer with any version of LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, NI TestStand™, or Measurement Studio on an unsupported OS.

For more information about the changes to our OS support for 2016, refer to KB 79UC78LS, Why Does my LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, or TestStand Built Installer Fail on Windows XP/Vista and Server 2003?.

NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP versions are now aligned with the versions of major NI application software products. This alignment gives you information about the year the driver was released and the most recent software version the driver was designed to work with. Driver versions now start with a two-digit year indicator: <;ProductName>. For example, NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP 16.0 is the version released with LabVIEW 2016. The last version released under the old numbering scheme is NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP 1.3. The first version released under the new numbering scheme is NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP 14.0.

Refer to the NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP Help, accessible from Help»NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP in LabVIEW, for information about NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP.

Select Help»Find Examples from LabVIEW to launch the NI Example Finder. Navigate to the Hardware Input and Output»NI-Industrial Communications»EtherNet/IP folder to access the examples. You can modify an example VI to fit an application, or you can copy and paste from one or more examples into a VI that you create.

You also can find the examples for NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP in the labview\examples\ethernetip directory.

You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes. However, starting with the August 2012 releases (products using NI Installers version 3.1 or later), you may need to perform additional steps before or during a silent installation of NI software.

If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET separately before you install NI software.

For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:

Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest version of the Windows operating system and features significant changes compared to previous versions. Windows 10 introduces several new capabilities and also combines features from both Windows 7 and Windows 8. For more information about NI support for Windows 10, visit ni.com/windows10.

When you install NI software on Microsoft Windows 8.1, you will notice a few additional tiles in the Apps view, including shortcuts to NI application software products such as NI LabVIEW, NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), and NI Launcher. For more information about NI support for Windows 8.1, visit ni.com/windows8.
