Controlling a Siemens S120 drive from LabVIEW over Profinet

[IBrown]

Does anyone have any experience using LabVIEW to control a Siemens Sinamatic S120 drive over Profinet.  Siemens has a very basic application note which describes using a DLL that they provide to interface with the S120 drive.  It is really unclear if all the drive parameters can be controlled using this interface.

Does anyone have any experience using LabView to control a Siemens S120 drive?  How difficult is it?

Hey IBrown,

Can you tell me what hardware you're using for the Profinet communication?

Ideally I am just using the standard ethernet port on the PC and the drive controller has its own port.

Hello ipbrown,

This looks to be a DLL created by Siemens to be interfaced with LabVIEW.  Unfortunately, we will have very limited knowledge of what capabilities this DLL provides.  You may need to contact Siemens.  Most of the experience I have with PROFINET and LabVIEW involve our PROFINET C Series Module, that can be used to transform a cRIO into a PROFINET slave.
