Hello,
I am fairly new to Labview and have been given a task to assemble a test stand that will test various Serial Interface protocol Valve Manifolds (Pneumatic). To my knowledge I see two directions for this test. One would be to purchase RS Logic Rack and all of the protocal Interfaces or use Labview. Since I am more familiar with Labview, this would be ideal. I now need to know where to start and what hardware I will need to accomplish this. The protocols we need to test are: ControlNet, Device Net, Remote I/O, Profibus, EtherNet/IP, Asi, Compobus-S, CC-Link and if possible MelsecNet/Mini-S3, CanOpen and Sysbus. The test stand will only need to test one valve manifold at a time so the user would simply select the p/n of the manifold and the program would then select which protocal is required (this is the easy part). Then test just the I/O. So, the question is can Labview be used? What hardware and Software will be required? We have Labview 8.2.
I have attached our SI brochure for reference.
Also, I am sorry in advance if this is the wrong board.
I would appreciate any feedback.
thanks,
