Driver to communicate between LabVIEW and Omron CJ1G PLC

I am trying to communicate between my Omron PLC (Model CJ1G) and LabVIEW. I want to be able to read specific registers and be able to display and save the data in LabVIEW.
I have the "Idustrial Automation Servers for OPC" CD but my PLC model no. doesn't appear under the Omron options.
What other options do I have?
Thanks, in advance,
Felipe

Hi Felipe:
I checked in our PLC compatibility database and the only Omrom PLCs that are supported are the following: C20, C200, C500, C1000, C2000, CQM, and CPM1.
The PLCs that are suppored in the IA OPC server is based on the driver dll that was supplied to us by Omron. When newer PLCs are released, they are not included in this dll and are thus not supported. You might want to contact Omron to see which OPC Server supports that PLC. You should be able to use any 3rd party OPC Server to work with DSC which will then be the OPC Client.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Jaideep

Communicating between LabVIEW and Basic Stamp 2.0

Hello,
We are trying to control the movement of a Parallax Boe-Bot (robot with
Board of Education) via LabView programming. The BOE operates on
Basic Stamp programming to control the pulse width sent to two servo
motors.
Is there a way to establish communication between LabVIEW and Basic
Stamp 2.0? We need to send commands from LabVIEW to the
Basic Stamp to control the pulse width and therefore the rotation of
the two servo motors. We also need to send a signal from an
accelerometer based on the robot to the LabVIEW ADC.
The ultimate goal is to do this with wireless communication, but for
right now we are simply trying to figure out any way to send the data
between LabVIEW and the Basic Stamp.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Adam

Hi Adam,
You can communicate with a BASIC Stamp microcontroller over GPIB using VISA. To see some LabVIEW example code, just search for GPIB in the NI Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples). This will show you the basics of GPIB communication in LabVIEW. I also found this link by searching the NI discussion forums for "basic stamp"
http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/downloads/software/software_basic_stamp.asp
Here you can download an example using LabVIEW 7.0 or higher to communicate with a BASIC Stamp 2.
I hope this is helpful! Let us know if you have further questions.

Reference Library for Converting Between LabVIEW and XML Data (GXML)

Please provide feedback, comments and questions on the Reference Library for Converting Between LabVIEW and XML Data (GXML) in this thread.
The latest version of the NI GXML Library is availble in VIPM on the NI LabVIEW Tools Network repository.

Francesco, Thank you for the feedback. With this component it was my intention to make a more "terse" version of the LabVIEW Flatten to XML VI that was also supported on RT and that gave the user more flexbility regarding the structure of the parsing type definition. I think you are right that the XML parser is not compliant to section 2.11 of the XML spec. The parser does specifically looking for a #D#A and this appears to be an oversight on my part. Please confirm for me, the specifcation is saying that the XML parser should be able to recognize three possibilities as an "end of line" character: #D#A, #D, or #A. Am I reading this right?There are more efficient (and in some cases much more efficient) ways of sharing data between LabVIEW and LabVIEW: some examples are flattened binary strings and the datalog binary format. XML is slower than these optons but the upside is that it is human readable. Furthermore XML is inherently hierarchical which is convenient for complex data structures like clusters of arrays of clusters, etc. If you don't care about human readability then you are correct XML doesn't make as much sense.I will return to the GXML source code and try to fix this in the near future but I would hope that instead of creating yet another custom VI from scratch that you could reuse what I have provided for you. I included enough documentation in the source code so that users could make some modificiations themselves. The target application for this reference library was LabVIEW to LabVIEW communication. As such I documented the schema on the dev zone document from a LabVIEW perspective. It includes all the supported datatypes and all the supported data structures (cluters, arrays, multidimensional arrays, clusters of multidimensional arrays, etc.) I do see some value in making a more conventional XML spec but the time investment required didn't really line up with my intended use case. Were there any other downsides to GXML that I have missed? Best Regards, Jeff TippsSystems Engineer - Sound and VibrationMessage Edited by Jeff T. on 04-21-2010 10:09 AM

Can't communicate between JS and ExtendScript

I tried this: (according to the docs it should work)
In JS
var csInterface = new CSInterface();
csInterface.evalScript('$.test()', function(r){console.log(r)})
In JSX
$.test = function() {
alert("test");
return 65656;
I'm seeing the alert, but the logged statement is empty. Anyone know how to communicate between the two?

I tried a few ways but the only way I could do it properly was pretty involved:
1) Use Socket.io to communicate between generator and extension
2) When you want to raise an "event" from JSX, update generator settings, use a unique id for your event
3) Parse the event in generator
4) Emit the event from generator to extension.

Connecting between labVIEW and PLC S7-1200 using EPICS

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to connect between LabVIEW and PLC S7-1200 using EPICS. I did it using OPC and it succeeded and the communication was done, so right now i'm trying to do it using EPICS. so Can anyone help me with that?
Thanks in advance.
Ahmed

Hello,Ahmed:
Now I'm trying to conect S7-1200 to Labview by OPC server 2012, I'm newer for both PLC S7-1200 and OPC server. by the help file of NI's OPC I tested many times, but lost totally.
You mentioned that you have succeeded making the connection between them, could you please help me :
1) How to set in Simense TIA software? I can set the PLC's IP address now, that's all;
2) OPC server setting.
if there is a video, that will be great.
thanks a lot.

Transfert between Labview and HTML page

Is it possible to transfert data between LABVIEW and a HTML page without using a java applet?
Is Labview including this possibility?
The aim is to pilot a system via internet with a html page.

Hi Mat,
LabVIEW CGI is the best solution for that. I know that you can build ActiveX controls (in Visual Basic) that talk to labVIEW. But LabVIEW CGI is the easiest way of doing that. You should have some knowledge of HTML inorder to work with LabVIEW CGI.
Also note that in order to have the LabVIEW CGI capability you should have Internet Toolkit for LabVIEW (available from NI). For more information
http://www.ni.com/labview/internet/
The examples that ship with the toolkit should get you started on it. LabVIEW CGI VIs would allow you to execute VI from web browser and get results back in web browser in form of HTML page.
Hope this helps,

Oracle jdbc driver: sort order between letters and numbers

Hello,
I am facing a very strange problem with sortering of data between letters and numbers.
I'am executing the following SQL request:
SELECT nummsg FROM CWD01 where nummsg = '00000001' or nummsg = 'AAAA0001' order by nummsg
When this request is executed with sqlplus or SQuirreL, I receive the expected result:
NUMMSG
00000001
AAAA0001
When I execute the following java code:
try {     String className = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";     Class driverObject = Class.forName(className);     Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("myurl", "user", "pass");     Statement stmt = con.createStatement();     ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(           "SELECT nummsg FROM CWD01 where nummsg = '00000001' or nummsg = 'AAAA0001' order by nummsg");     while (rs.next()) {           String x = rs.getString("nummsg");           System.out.println("nummsg " +x);     } } catch (Exception e) {     System.out.println("Failed: Driver Error: "+ e.getMessage()); }
I receive the unexpected result:
nummsg AAAA0001
nummsg 00000001
We are using the following version of Oracle:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bi
and the following jdbc driver:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) JDBC Drivers (ojdbc14.jar (1,536,979 bytes) - classes for use with JDK 1.4 and 1.5)
Any suggestion?

I checked, I'am sure of the problem:
package test;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class Test {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               String className = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
               Class driverObject = Class.forName(className);
               Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@<server>[:<1521>]:<database_name>", "user", "password");
               Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
               ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(
                  "SELECT nummsg FROM CWD01 where nummsg = '00000001' or nummsg = 'AAAA0001' order by nummsg");
               while (rs.next()) {
                    String x = rs.getString("nummsg");
                    System.out.println("nummsg " + x);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Failed: Driver Error: " + e.getMessage());
}The table CWD01 defines the column NUMMSG as VARCHAR2(8).
The output gives:
nummsg AAAA0001
nummsg 00000001

Establish connection between labview and Lantronix XPort Pro

Hi:
I am pretty new in this field. I just got into grad program, and I have been asked to establish a TCP/IP connection between Lantronix XPort Pro and labview 8.5. The goal is to get data from the server (Lantronix XPort Pro) and put them into labview and modify them, then I need to send modified data back into server.
The server has registered into local network wirelessly, it has IP 192.168.5.117 in port 26.
I would really appreciate your help and comments.
cheers!
Kian.

Which field are you "new" to? Programming in general? Programming in LabVIEW? TCP/IP?
Have you taken a look at the TCP/IP examples that ship with LabVIEW? There are simple Data Client/Data Server examples that show transfer of data over TCP/IP. You will likely need to do something very similar. Does the XPort Pro have a TCP/IP listener running? Do you have a communication protocol defined?
Also, if you are new the LabVIEW, have you gone through any of the tutorials? To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the introduction material, tutorial(s), and other material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

Interfacing between labview and microcontroller using rs 232

hi my task is to generate a wavefrom of certain frequency and certain duty cycle in labview and feed it to pic18f452 microcontroller and the o/p of microcontroller when connected to CRO should display the same frequency and duty cycle which was fed from labview.
for that when i am sending decimal data from labview microcontrolle is receiving ascii data for eg 62(decimal) gives 36 and 32 respectively in microcontroller registers and when i use type cast function and convert the decimal data into ascii data and then sending it to uc it gives hex o/p so i am confused that how to solve this problem
pls guide me
thanks
satish

So your display from the uc is giving you a hex display instead of the ASCII representation? Are you using VISA to send a string to the uc? Is that string being represented as hex instead of ASCII by the microcontroller? I'm confused about what exactly your setup and problem is...

Will keep you posted

Communications between LabVIEW and spectrum analyzer

hi, im a beginner in LabVIEW and spectrum analyzer, and im now trying to let LabVIEW captures signal coming from spectrum analyzer. i have all the required components needed but i have totally no idea how to get started, is there any exercises or labs available here?

It will depend on your method of communication with the device. If it is RS232 you can go to the example finder (Help > Find Examples) and search for RS232 or however you plan on communicating with the device. Or you can browse the catagories for examples on various topics.
Depending on the device the manufacturer may have LabVIEW drivers on their web site. But anybody will need more information on the analyzer and the signals before you can be helped.

HT1452 I want to reset the permissions on a western digital external hard drive to work between mac and windows... How can I do this easily?

I have a MacBook Pro and have recently bought a Western Digital external hard drive. I used it on my windows laptop first and unfortunately now on the Mac it is read only. How can I set it so that I can use it successfully between the both the Mac and windows laptop?
Thanks

You will need to pull all the information off first. The formatting will erase it all.
Use Disk Utility (in Applications >> Utilities or use Spotlight to find it). On the left select your WD drive and then select the Erase tab. Where it says Format, select exFat in the drop-down menu. Next, click Erase and done. It will take approx. 5-15mins to re-format.
Cons: You will be unable to store files 4GB or larger in this format (usually only dmg/iso files or large Outlook files). Also, you will be unable to use Time Machine or other auto-backup programs.
That is not entirely correct, there is no 4G limit using exFat, FAT32 is the one with the limit.

What is the difference between LABVIEW and LABWIN/CVI?

I want to take a course about one of these two softwares.
I know a little bit about LABVIEW but I know nothing about LABWIN/CVI.
What is the difference between them?
Do they have different aplications?
thanks
Tzviel

LabVIEW is a graphical programming language. It is made up of a user interface which is called the front panel and a block diagram where all the coding is done. CVI is National Instrument's C interface for virtual instrumentation. CVI includes a user interface complete with graphs, buttons, and other interface objects. However, the code is done in ANSI C. Some great features of CVI include the function panels, which provide a wizard interface for CVI functions, and code generation. CVI also easily integrates with National Instruments DAQ & GPIB devices as well as other intrument drivers.

Looking for a easy app to use to communicate between office and our shop

iso of an app for use between my office and backroom where parts are ordered. a time clock to click in and out while pulling order would be great.

Sundarajan,
generally speaking you use Forms Modules to split applications according to their logical role in an application. If for example you have a complex merchendise management application built in Forms and you use the buttons to navigate from the "product logistics" component of your application to the "pricings and advertising" component, then - because these parts are not related in business - splitting this up into modules is a good idea.
If it is a smaller functionality that you gain from the two buttons, then using Windows or Canvases is a good idea to use. You can hide Windows and Canvases allowing you to either use a new "frame" or the same but with different content. So if the navigation you perform belongs to the same logical business process then don't use different modules. Otherwise use diefferent Forms modules.
