Connection to another scada software.

Hello. I was wondering if it's possible to connect another scada software (like Infilink) to LabVIEW and how to do it. Thanks in advance. Lo

Most SCADA packages these days support OPC DA as well as the more advanced OPC variants (such as UA). I see that KEP Infilink uses KEPServerEX as the "driver" layer to connect to devices - KEPServerEx can also quite easily connect to OPC DA sources as well.

 

The LabVIEW Shared Variable Engine is also an OPC DA server. So LabVIEW network shared variables can be used to communicate between a LabVIEW application and KEPServerEX; and thus a SCADA package like Infilink. Note that the number of variables that an be hosted impacts performance which is worth considering as soon as you get into the hundreds of variables.
