After a longer break, we recently held another LabVIEW training course – a combination of LabVIEW Core 1 and 2 on behalf of NI. Although we work with the software on an almost everyday basis, it is always useful for us to discuss the underlying programming concept and question some of our own practices. This […]
Our software for universal automotive test benches is available in three versions: as a pure LabVIEW solution or based on TwinCAT with either LabVIEW or DIAdem as the user interface. We can vary the software structure depending on customer requirements in terms of software environment, flexibility, hardware interfaces and, last but not least, software licence […]
Up to four railway wagons, equipped with hundreds of sensors and exposed to cold, heat or storms, deliver data over days and weeks in the world’s largest climate wind tunnel at Rail Tec Arsenal in Vienna – and the results are available in seconds. How does it work? With an NI DIAdem-based application for automatic […]
That’s what the project manager at Volkswagen says about our solution for recording and evaluating quiescent current measurements in motor cars. How does it work? Through consistent, end-to-end automation. All the information is obtained from the test order system in order to automatically perform both the respective measurement and the associated evaluation. The parameter structure […]
We recently posted on LinkedIn about an unsuccessful attempt to obtain a PC with a Profinet interface from Siemens. Of course, this did not change the customer’s needs. And since system integration is also part of our services, we now offer the IPC327G with Hilscher cifX M3042100BM – fully assembled, with all the necessary software […]
… as described in this post. In fact, we often combine LabVIEW and EtherCAT (not least because NI itself uses EtherCAT on its cRIO platform) and sometimes also LabVIEW and SERCOS III. Sometimes we also have to switch between buses, as is the case with our multi-bus-capable test benches, where the bus can change from […]
This has been the trending topic of our customer inquiries in recent weeks. While the capabilities of LabVIEW and NI hardware in the acquisition and output of analog signals are undisputed, the situation is different when it comes to connecting real-time Ethernet buses. Numerous forum discussions and questions from our customers prove this. For a […]
For more than 20 years we support the Emerson subsidiary Aventics with solutions based on NI hardware and software, such as compactRIO, LabVIEW and DIAdem. Therefore we look forward to see what synergies will result for our work from Emerson’s acquisition of NI.
Yes, if the aim is to continue using proven functionality and enable cost-effective adaptation to new requirements. Yes, if each software is used to do what it does best – DIAdem for visualisation, data analysis and reporting, LabVIEW for creating a wide variety of hardware interfaces, and TwinCAT for PC-based real-time control. Yes, if easy-to-use, […]
There is powerful visualization software available for every PLC that can display current system states in almost any way. And yet there is sometimes the need for a simple way to record, visualize, save and analyze PLC data. If the PLC has a fieldbus interface (e.g. Profinet, EtherCAT, SERCOS III or Ethernet/IP), this is very […]
