Festo FPC100 and LabView

We have an old DOS based PLC (FPC100) to drive Festo rams etc. It has very clunky DOS based software.
 
Anyone dabbled with getting this sort of stuff to run in LabView?

What communication protocol does this PLC use?  If it's an Open/published, and a simple one, you can write a driver VI(s) for it.

Depending on what you're looking to do, you could use the System Exec vi (Communication->System Exec) to run the DOS program from LabVIEW.  Or you could do what Khalid mentioned and write your own driver(s).

If you run into problems post them!
