2d array

[Ryamnod]

Hi, 

I am trouble as i have a few critical questions for my project.

Currently, i am doing a project linking labview to programable logic controller (PLC). 

I wonder if this can be done.

What does this have to do with a 2D array, as your title seems to think?

Yes, I am sure it can be done. Could be give a few more details. For example, what is your definition of "linking".

Maybe he's just continuing the theme: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/match-2d-array/m-p/1645734

as for the "linking" question, most "connections" to a PLC from LabVIEW are either done via a serial connection or via an OPC server. You need to look at the documentation of the PLC that you have to see which way it's done. As for examples, search the forum, as communicating with PLCs has been asked many times.

Hi, 

Thanks for the advice given. 

Now i've tried to connect using OPC servers. 

However, i've a few questions (which maybe too simple for you). 

1) I need to add a driver. (Where am i going to get the driver? Is the the hardware that i use to connect Labview and PLC?)

2) Procced to add device model (Am i right to say that it is the program name that i configure the PLC?)

3) How am i going to determine the device ID? 

4) Then i have to create a tag, but how am i going to get the address?

Kindly do advice me as i am not expert at this area.
