Labview and Mitsubishi OPC: communication

[Dr. Mckay]

Hi,

My problem is I have to communicate between a Mitsubishi FX1N and Labview using OPC.  I have Labview 8.0 is that enough to communicate or do I need the DSC module ? I want to do I so simple as posible, nothing fancy. Maybe use of global variables ?

Hi

DSC is not necessary to read OPC tags, but it does have a lot of neat features. You can use Datasockets to read OPC tags. A very simple example that demonstrates this is called NI Demo OPC Client and can be found in NI Example Finder. To find the URL of the OPC tags you want to read, you can use DataSocket Select URL.vi.
