Siemens SPS5 and LabVIEW over OPC

[Thomas]

Hello everyone,

for a new project i have to down and upload some data between a PC running
LabView and a Siemens SPS5 PLC controller.
Im new to this kind of application so it would be nice to hear in which way
i should try to do that.
A friend told me i should take a look at OPC (Ole for Production Controll).
Does anyone know where i can find some infos about it?
I would be very interested in some example Vi's and which hardware i need
for this application.
