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 […]
And how much software services tailored to your needs could you purchase with the money saved if you only paid for the software licences you actually need? Those who offer software services based on standard software often encounter a striking contradiction: while the costs for a solution tailored to the client and the application are […]
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.
At müller+krahmer, we develop software for a wide variety of test applications. This works best when the hardware we use is flexible and easy to handle. And what could be simpler on a pneumatic test bench than hardware that covers all electrical and pneumatic interfaces in a single system? One such system is the AES […]
Among other things, by the fact that we are testing a LiDAR sensor on a Christmas stollen (a typical German cake). However, it is not actually the sensor from Sick’s TiM5xx series that is being tested, but the DIAdem driver that we have created for it. As mentioned many times before, NI DIAdem can not […]
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 […]
For a long time, it was everywhere, but recently there wasn’t much to hear about – NI’s big analogue data (TM), characterised by the five Vs: volume, variety, velocity, value and visibility. Of course, it is still there and growing. Perhaps it has fallen out of the spotlight because we have become accustomed to it. […]
