integration of scada with labview

[satish.rfic]

I am using LAbVIEW 2011; professional version. I am having two mechanical sytem interface with SCADA and one DMM on LabVIEW. How could I integrate the full system using LAbVIEW? Which module is required for the same? How to identify the lincense of the required module?

Hi satish.rfic,

For DMM, you will require a instrument drivers NIDMM.

For SCADA system, you will require Data Socket VIs in Data Communication palette which is a part of NI LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module.

Following is the screenshot of DataSocket palette used in SCADA and OPC servers.

Hey ramktamu,

Datasocket VIs are part of the base development system, not DSC. However, the datasockets technology has some significant performance limitations (the big one is that everything runs in the UI thread) and I wouldn't necessarily recommend them as a basis for a new project.

Satish,

Depending on the specifics of your application, DSC may be the right answer. I'd recommend looking around the product page here:

There are a number of documents and webcasts which may help you evaluate whether or not the product fits your needs.

Thanks,

Daniel
