Hello,
I would like to make some tests of the communication between PC and the CompactRIO via MODBUS TCP/IP, and I have the serial interface modul (4 ports) NI 9871.
The question is that aside from the Labview, could I use the other software like Scilab or Python to program and to achieve the communication MODBUS (read and write data of the automat)?
In effect, I have already the programmes of modbus which run successfully in Scilab and Python.
Thanks in advance.

The program on the PC side could be anything that follows the MODBUS protocol over TCP/IP. But I'm pretty sure the cRIO is going to have to be LabVIEW.

If I convert the Scilab or Python code to C, could Labview support them?

I'm not sure what you mean by "support". If you are referring to LabVIEW calling other code, you will need to compile into a dll.
