Profinet and LabView

[SmileBoB]

Hi all,

I need to drive a Siemens variator from LabView Windows or LabView RT, i don't know yet the needs of my customer in terms of determinism. 

So I guess Labview will be the profinet master on the bus.

Can I use a standard ethernet port to implement this master ? Or do I have to you a specific board like Comsoft ?

Is there any library or toolkit which implements profinet on standard ethernet port with LAbVIEW ?

Thanks for your help !!!

Hello,

Profinet requires deterministic timing and onboard CPU power to run the protocol. Profibus/Profinet National Instruments cooperates with Comsoft and they should have a Profinet board with good LabVIEW integration available.

Please contact Comsoft for further information.

I found out about this dll, that allow to connect without further hardware, are you familiar with it?
