Siemens PLC S7-300 data to LabVIEW RT via Profibus ?

[benji]

How can I acquire Siemens PLC S7-300 data to LabVIEW RT via Profibus ? (My RT is hooked up to SCXI chassis.) There is the PCI-1500 Profibus board - but I'd have to use it on another PC running regular LabVIEW, then get data somehow to the SCXI chassis... that's too complicated! Any ideas ? Thanks! benji.

We are currently working on a driver for the Profibus cards and LabVIEW RT. I imagine that NI is too. Our intention is to help fill in the Industrial network gaps for LVRT. If you'd like, I'll send you an update in 2-4 weeks. Maybe you can help us beta test it.
