Ni hypertrend with opc data socket

hello,
i am going to use ni hypertren with labview dsc 8.6 version. i am not using shared variable here but using opc server + data socket i am reading all the channels of data. currently i am reading 300 channels of data over modbus tcp/ip network. all are thermocouple inputs and each module has an 8 channels of array of data which i defined, i tried using shared variable but here i need to create 300 variable for each channel then only i can able to insert these data values to the data base. but using data socket with opc server i can able to group it 8 channels/ module the i can able readuce my data set also it will be traceble one. to inserting data base i am making programming.
i checked the ni-hypertrend, i gone through the help, my question is can i plot the datas from opc data socket with out using shared variable...?

Balaji DP

SOLVED
I just installed the runtime and copied the exe to the target. That doesn't work.
After I build a distribution with NI DataSocket component and installing it the copied OpcClient works. Even after uninstalling said distribution...

  • Programatically changing data socket IP for OPC

    Hello,
    I am using a string indiactor which is configured with the data socket (OPC lookout) settings. I am having a difficult time changing the IP address of the datasocket URL (ie- lookout:\\172.24.149.2X\LV\digame\Control_Parms) using property nodes. Has any one been able to do this??
    Thanks,

    Brad,
    What version of LabVIEW RT are you running? There was an issue in LabVIEW 6.0.3 the DataSocket VI's could not have different URL's passed through them. E.G. If you had one DataSocket Read in a For Loop that auto-indexed through an array of 10 URL's, you would always get the data from the first URL.
    Also, remember that a number of VI server functions are only available on development machines and not available when built as an executable. Check the online help on the property node to determine whether the property you are using is available at all times or only in development mode.

  • Data socket open?

    I have one computer with a data socket that I write some waveforms to
    at ~ 1Hz.  I have another computer that reads out that data, and
    logs it.  My problem is that sometimes, I have to stop the vi on
    the data socket server machine, at which point, the second machine
    running the "data socket read vi" stops and gives an error, since the
    datasocket no longer exists.  Is there some way for the reader
    machine to test to see if the datasocket exists, and if not, I'll just
    write zeros or keep testing until it's open again?  I don't want
    to have to go over to the other machine and restart the vi every time
    this happens.
    thanks.

    Hello,
    One way to do it would be to simply check for that error in your loop.  If it occurs, you know the connection was lost, otherwise you're receiving data!
    Will this work for your application?

  • Data socket problems with LVRT 8.2

     I am in the process of migrating to LV 8.2 from LV7.1.1. My system has 18 RT targets which send data to a Host PC through data socket (DS). The Host PC runs LV on Windows XP Pro.  With LV7.1.1 on both host and RT targets DS works perfectly. The RT targets update the host every 500 ms.
    I've taken a three-step process in the migration. First tests were done with the host migrated to LV8.2 while keeping the RTs at LV7.1.1. Result: the system worked perfect. Then I changed one RT to 8.2 keeping the rest the rest at LV7.1.1. Result: DS timed out before all the data could be sent to Host. Finally, all RTs were migrated to LVRT 8.2. Result: Only about 5 out of the 18 RTs report to the Host before DS times out. However, if only one RT target is used, i.e., the other 17 RTs are diasbled, communication is very fast. Is there a special setting that I need to make? Btw, the roughly 5 RTs that report vary randomly from test to test, i.e., there is no bias towards any particular RTs.
    I am using the same source code developed under LV7.1.1, so the only changes made are the ones that take place when one opens LV7.1.1 code in LV8.2. Some VIs get converted in the process.
    Any ideas?

    Ben,
    I must say I am very surprised by Nadim's email. His point, which I must say I don't agree with, was made quite clear to me yesterday during a conference call between my team and the NI team comprising Chris, Nadim, and Avinash. So I don't know what purpose this morning's email is supposed to serve. Be that as it may, I think NI has gotten it wrong here. I do not think it should be one or the other. The discussion forum is a much wider forum comprised of people with varying experiences - not just NI employees. That is precisely why I posted my problem to the forum: to tap into the vast experiences of the discussants. But when I did not get any responses after I had posted answers to Nadim's questions, I decided to make a formal service request to NI, all perfectly legal. So I was really surprised when I was being blamed for tying up NI resources on one problem. I believe the resource allocation issue should be NI's to solve, not mine. I have no way of knowing that NI had formally assigned somebody to my problem. What if nobody from NI responds, am I allowed to make a service request to NI? My feeling is that NI's logic is flawed here, assuming Nadim's views are NI's views.

  • Create OPC I/O server and front panel data socket problem

    Hi all!
    I installed the NI OPC server. When I try to create a new server I/O in a LabVIEW project I don't see the "OPC client" possibility.
    Is something software missing? 
    Other question: I tryed to connect to OPC server using front panel data socket but my problem is same. When I click the numeric control and I go to the "data operation" menu there is no possibility to make data socket connection. 
    I don't know what is the problem.
    I attached two pictures about my problem. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Dear vajasgeri1,
    do you have LabVIEW DSC module installed? Without it you will not have the OPC client funtionality.
    And to configure DataSocket binding you need to go to the Data Binding tab in the Properties of a control.

  • Dynamically create Variant Data Socket items with multiple writers

    I want to use variant or cluster items with data socket connection. I want to allow multiple writers.
    So far I can create these items dynamically but not set them to allow multiple writers.
    For numeric, string, and Boolean items I can set these properties by predefining them in the data socket server manager. I could not predefine a variant or cluster in the manager.
    I realize I can flatten to string the item needed but would prefer to do this in the cluster or variant formats.
    Any suggestions?

    Could you accomplish this using a functional global architecture??
    An interesting concept which might work and did just open up a new host of possibilities!
    When I get the time I might give this a try. I just did a quick test in another program.
    Through VI server I opened a reference to a remote machine. I then created strictly typed reference to a “functional global vi” that I knew would be in memory. It reads the functional global just fine!
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    Here is the work around I used for the data socket program.
    Here is the original problem.
    I needed to know on the server side when a new value was written to the message cluster, which consisted of a string and a variant. Checking the string portion of the cluster let me know what command to send the device being controlled on the server machine. The variant is used to hold the various parameters that accompanied the command. Since the same command type could be sent several times I needed to reset the string control after the server read the command. This required writing to the data socket from the client & server machine (multiple writers). Also since the client could be any PC in the subnet I needed to allow all these machines to have write access.
    I solved this by using a second data socket item for the new message flag. This item is a string value that could be pre-defined and set to allow multiple writers. I then used the cluster item to handle the commands and wrote to the string item a signal that a new command was ready. The server then recognizes a new command is ready, reads the command, and then flags the string message received.
    Thanks again for those who took the time to answer this.

  • Aplicacion Flujometro - OPC Server - Data Socket

    Hola a todos:
    Estoy realizando una aplicacion para poder capturar los datos de un Medidor de caudal con paleta rotatoria KOBOLD (flujometro) . Cuento con un PLC Micrologix 1200, tengo instalado su OPC Server correspodiente, asi como el Data Socket en una aplicacion industrial ...

    Jorge Poma Deza - LabVIEW Developer

    Hola JorgeEPD, para conectarte a tu OPC, solo tienes que indicar la dirección de tu OPC, y datasocket se encarga de la comunicación.
    La única limitante que tienes es que vas a tener que realizar una conexión de datasocket por cada elemento de tu OPC Server.
    AL solo querer realizar una medición (solo uno de los canales) es probable que con una sola conexión sea suficiente. Hay ejemplos en el find example de cómo usar Datasocket
    Para facilidad de manejo de OPC te recomiendo el modulo de DSC de LabVIEW

  • Data Socket Servers with LV RT

    I am trying to use LV RT on an embedded system to communicate with another system that is running LV RT.  I would like to use data socket communications in order to keep the code as simple as possible.  My question is if anyone has had experience with launching a data socket server on a LV RT platform.  Currently I am only aware of windows machines that can be data socket servers.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Problem with data socket server

    We have developed a program (from LabVIEW 6.1 running on Windows NT) consisting of a main executable and four other executables dedicated to collecting various i/o information. The four i/o executables convert raw data into process data and pass it on to the main executable using Data Sockets. The data is assembled as a cluster, then flattened into a string, which is published to a data socket variable. The data cluster contains a time stamp used by the main executable to verify i/o is being updated periodically (at least once a second). The main executable generates an alarm if the timestamp gets to be more than 5 to 15 seconds old, depending on the expected data. Typically, this alarm never happens, unless an i/o device is powered down o
    r disconnected, or an executable or Data Socket Server is terminated.
    The problem we are is experiencing is that false alarms are being generated, at precise intervals of exactly 5 days, 18 hours, 1 minute, and 1 second. The alarm condition occurs then clears immediately. The only thing I can think of is the data socket is somehow "cleared" for some reason at this interval, causing the main executable to momentarily read a time stamp of zero, and generate an alarm. Is there anything that might be corrupting the data sockets at a long interval like this? The worst thing is that the alarm horn gets falsely triggered, so we are trying to resolve this but can not see anything in any of the code to cause such an occurrence.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello Matt,
    Thank you for reading & responding. I should try to summarize this specific application in a little more detail.
    We have built a manufacturing tool for a customer that is controlled by a single Windows NT PC, for which we have developed 5 executables using LabView 6.1. The main executable provides the user interface. The other four executables are dedicated to control & monitoring of specific i/o devices (serial or IEEE-488). The i/o executables pass data to and receive commands from the main using data sockets. The PC is not on any type of network. The main executable supports an optional SEMI standard host link through its ethernet port, but that is not currently active or connected. A total of 13 data sockets are used, to implement si
    mple "one way" traffic through any socket, making buffering unnecessary. Some data sockets (i/o data to and from main) are updated a few times a second at most, commands from the main may only be updated a few times a day.
    Data from each of the i/o executables includes a time stamp indicating the last valid i/o hardware read time. The main uses this data from each i/o executable to determine whether i/o hardware is responding properly - if the timestamp gets to be anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds old (depending on which i/o is being checked), an i/o failure alarm for that device is raised.
    What seems to be happening is that, periodically, precisely every 496,861 seconds, two or more of the timestamps are found to be too old; I am assuming some external event is momentarily clearing socket data & the zero value timestamps look very old, thus triggering alarms at the exact same second. The alarm conditions clear up in less than one second.
    I wonder what you mean by "the datasocket
    server resetting"? Is this documented anywhere?
    Thanks for plowing through this wordy description, I appreciate any help you can suggest.

  • Problems with data socket connection

    I have two computers on a network both running labview. I would like to
    exchange the value of a variable in both directions. For example
    computer A sets the variable to a certain value, computer B reacts and
    changes this variable. Computer A now reads the new value.
    So I tried this using (front panel) data sockets but I could not
    establish a connection the way I want it. Also I couldn't find answers
    here or in the labview help file, so I hope you can give me a short
    hint on how to do that (do I need to run socket server on both
    machines? What IP address do I need to enter in the front panel dialog?)
    Thank you very much,
    Michael

    Thanks for the Port number, I got it to work now.
    I will summarise what was necessary to establish a connetion in case other people are interested:
    If you need a bidirectional communication between computer A (IP:192.168.0.1)
    and B (IP: 192.168.0.2) the following steps may be necessary:
    - Run DataSocket Server on *both* computers before you start LabView
    For communication A to B:
    - Select a variable on computer A, and enter the following in the connect to field:
       "dstp://192.168.0.1/var1", click on "publish"
    - Create a variable of the same type on machine B and enter in the connect to field:
       "dstp://192.168.0.1/var1", click on "subscribe"
    For communication from B to A do the following:
    - Select a variable on computer B, and enter the following in the connect to field:
       "dstp://192.168.0.2/var2", click on "publish"
    - Create a variable of the same type on machine A and enter in the connect to field:
       "dstp://192.168.0.2/var2", click on "subscribe"
    Maybe this is not the most elegant way because I don't know how to use the "Publish and subscribe" field
    but at least it works this way.
