Solved!

Hello,

Is there someone out there with some experience sending commands via Modbus to a rotary table WEISS.

A picture doesn't give us much information to help you answer your question.  Does the company have a LabVIEW driver?  Do you have a detailed manual that describes how to control this "Rotary table WEISS" (model number not provided)?  Have you contacted WEISS?

are you looking to hire or seeking guidance?

Are you familiar with using the Modbus library in LabVIEW?

I am looking for guidance. I have used the modbus library in Labview. I have not contacted the company yet. I will have a look to see if they provide a driver.

The documentation available from their website doesn't even tell anything about how to interface to that drive. What makes you think you can/need to use Modbus?

Their documentation mention Modbus communication. I have succeeded using python but not with only the Labview blocks.

If you could share your Python code, it is possible to reproduce it in LabVIEW equivalent or in the worst case, use the Python code as such.

That's the answer from WEISS

As I suspected, we cannot help you.

Unfortunately, we do not have anyone who knows anything about programming with LabView.

I cannot give you any further references either, as we have not come across this topic before.

This is not a solution definitely. If you succeded with Python, you can certainly do the same with the LabVIEW library. The matter is to use the proper functions with the proper arguments (addresses, for example, may not match).

Again, post your Python code and whatever you came up with LabVIEW describing what works (if any) and what doesn't.
