Hi all,
Has anyone had experience with LabVIEW software (by National instruments) before?
More specifically I am planning to control an SEW Movidrive MDX61B with via Ethernet/IP fieldbus card (DFE33B) from a PC running LabVIEW 2019 software (my labVIEW has Ethernet/IP capability although my understanding so far is that labview doesn’t utilise the EDS file that is available for this drive (an EDS file being the device configuration file used by Rockwell’s Logix5000 software) SEW also only give examples using logix5000.
I can’t say I understand exactly how an EDS file works or if there’s useful information contained within it for controllers other than logix5000 PLC’s??) or whether I need to set up explicit messaging or something else??
If anyone knows the steps I need to take to set up communication with a drive using LabVIEW then I’d be very pleased to hear from you!
