Has somebody already used Applicom PCI2000ETH Card or Applicom SW1000ETH software to communicate with ETHERNET bewteen siemens s7-300 and LabVIEW DSC ?

I want to use ETHERNET and not PROFIBUS to communicate and I think you can do that with only the applicom software SW-1000ETH. You must just have an ethernet card on your PC. So, you could use a notebook with an
ethernet card. You can also use Applicom PCI2000ETH for better performance.

Hi,

You might be able to get the configuration listed above working as long as you can get from Siemens/Applicom or any other third party provider a OPC Server that communicates with the S7-300. Since LabVIEW DSC is a OPC client, you would be able to establish connection.

The National Instruments driver for the S7-300 (Containnned in the product called "IA OPC Server CD") does not support communication through ethernet directly, you would either have to have a Profibus board or use a serial port with a Siemens HMI Adapter.

I hope it helps
