I am developing the design of an application that will monitor the status of a large number (1-50, with options to expand to 1000) Compact Field Point units that will be running an LV-RT that I will also be developing.
I think a LV2 global (on the RT platform) that is updated by the LV-RT app and read by the Windows app (usaing VI server) would work well but I am open to ideas.
The throughput should not be extreme. I only need to know about deadband changes or alarms that should amount to about one update every couple of seconds.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding;
1) Detecting Time outs?
2) Retrying and reconnecting?
All thoughts and ideas
are welcome!
