Just want to display some PLC data? It’s easy with NI LabVIEW or NI DIAdem and our bus interfaces!
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 easy: with multibus-capable cifX real-time Ethernet boards from Hilscher and our libraries for NI LabVIEW and NI DIAdem. With TwinCAT, this is even possible without additional hardware. LabVIEW and DIAdem then communicate directly with the ADS software interface. If real-time data is also required in NI file formats, our real-time extensions for NI LabVIEW and NI DIAdem, based on TwinCAT, provide this data.
