Hi,
On a project, i have to assess the possibilities of communication directly from a Labview application on a computer.
Profibus: you need a PCI card. NI, REF: 780160-01 is 1650€, is it possible to use others PCI cards (Siemens's ones are around 400€) ? I'm not very familiar with the drivers possibilities an such.
Modbus on TCP/IP, easy with the "NI MODBUS Library 1.2.1 ". On big projects, the DSC labview module could be useful. No questions about modbus.
In theory, you could use powerlink and profinet on an Ethernet port of the computer (both works on TCP/IP)... But i did not find any driver/soft that allow you to do such. Is there any? I know it's possible to program my own library, but i'm looking for solutions without too much developement.
There are PCI cards for Profinet (Labview friendly), is it the only solution?
Powerlink, i did not find anything significant about this subject, what's your opinion?
Thanks
Ps: I asked this question on the NI forum with no luck
