PLC SIMATIC s7-300 with adaptater MPI-USB under Labview

Hello everybody
I'm trying to connect a SIEMENS
SIMATIC S7-300 directly to my PC ( without using a profibus card ) , so
I'd like to know if some one think it's possible to use a MPI-USB
adapter for that knowing that I use Labview to program my S7-300.
Thanks ! .

Deltalogic provides several low-cost S7 adapters (MPI-Adapter, MPI-Adapter-USB, HMI-Adapter,...) and appropriate LabVIEW drivers. If you can't understand German you should send them an email.
Here is the email-address for sales related questions: [email protected]
If you are looking for a high-performance solution you should have a look at the Profibus boards from Comsoft. Comsoft provides a native LabVIEW driver for their boards that runs on Windows and LabVIEW Real-Time systems.

How to write to a PLC Simatic S7-300 via HMI Adapter from Labview

Has someone tried to write from Labview 6.0 via a Siemens HMI Adapter to a DB on a Simatic S7-300 CPU.
I am only able to read. Trying to write comes the message from the OPC server: Protocol error, NO response from PLC

Greetings!
   Thanks for the post. Please check the following.
   1) Did you try connecting with server explorer and see if you are getting a response from the PLC
   2) Also please refer to the following links which will help you on further programming

   3) Is this the first time you are talking to the PLC , or
did it just happen and if it did was there something that changed
Do you have any vi built and testing. The links above have example programs you could use.
Thanks much and hope this helps.

Problem with running a program under Labview 8.6

Hello,
I am writing you this to ask for your technical support to fix the problem I am facing at our Lab at University of California, Irvine.
Ms. Vanessa Trujillo has kindly come to our lab a couple of times and tried different things to resolve the issue, but unfortunately the issue is not resolved yet. Here is a summary of the problem:
We used to use Labview 6.1 for our fatigue testing and data acquisition.
Our
program worked just fine under the 6.1 version We recently upgraded our software to Labview 8.6. We have also purchased a new computer that has higher capacity than what your website requires for Labview 8.6. The new computer has Windows Vista We transferred our old program/subprograms from the old computer under Labview
6.1 to the new computer with labview 8.6. However our program that worked fine with the 6.1 version is not working with the updated version (ver 8.6).
There
are 6 errors in the error list. It appears there are six files of my program missing under the new version, even though we transferred all files.
The software searches for those files but can't find them.
        For example one the box pops up indicates:
        loading:
                    <vlib>:\Daq\lvdaq.dll
        searching:
                    C:\Program Files\National Instrument\LabVIEW 8.6\instr.lib\Agilent34401\public\utility
        I get several message like this. I have to cancel/ignore them all to be able to open the program.
When we go to VI's under Measurement I/O there is nothing (empty).
We use a PCI-MIO-16XE-50 for our data acquisition During Labview installation on the new computer, I was asked if I wanted to install the device drivers. I had two options, "Now" or "Later", I picked Now but I didn't have the DVD's/CD's for the device drivers. Therefore I had to select later to complete my software installation Later after Labview 8.6 installation, we installed the device drivers (traditional Ni DAQ and Ni DAQmx) from the two old CD's we had in our lab from a couple of years ago (the CD's were Ni DAQ 7). after installation, the PCI board on the computer was recognized by the device driver. However we still could not run our program under the new version of Labview (same situation and the same messages) I called 1-866-275-6964 on 9/2/08 and talked to Grant (service number:
1228841). He recommended that I download and install the updated version of device drivers.
Since I didn't have the DVD/CD for updated device drivers, I contacted Vanessa Trujillo. She gave me the DVD for the updated Ni DAQ (Traditional and mx).
But
when I tried to install the updated device drivers I got a message something like "some unsupported filed have been detected,..." so the updated device
drivers were not installed. It should be noted that up to here we still had the Ni DAQ (traditional and mx) installed on the computer from our old CD's (Ni DAQ 7).
Vanessa and I talked to Tom at the technical support department. He recommended that we download and install the Beta xx version for Ni DAQ since we were using Windows Vista. Mike put the Beta software on the Ni website/outgoing so I could download and install it. He asked me to uninstall the traditional Ni DAQ that we had on our computer from the older CD's. He
asked me not to un-install the Ni DAQmx (that we had installed from the old
CD). I was able to download the Beta software, however I could not install it since I got a similar message that some unsupported files were detected.
Right now we don't have any version of traditional Ni DAQ installed on the
computer but the NI DAQmx (from old Ni DAQ 7) is still installed on the computer. Vanessa let me borrow her new Ni DAQ DVD but as I explained I am not able to install the device drivers.
Vanessa - Did I miss anything?
Please advise. My cell number is 619-778-2033. I will be at our lab at UC,
Irvine at 2:00pm (CA/Pacific time). Please call if you have any questions.
Thank you

To me, it looks like you are missing some of the drivers and subVI's used in your program.
Whatever device you are using to measure fatigue or any other device probably came with a driver.
You need all of these drivers installed on this new computer.
Also, any subVI's and libraries you use in the program must also be installed on the new computer.
Whenever you get a message that says you are missing some component (the ones that you said you press 'ignore'),
see if you can find that library or subVI on the older computer. If so, save it to something so you can transfer them to the new computer.

What shall I do with my project created under Labview 64bit?

Since I start to use a new PC with Windows 7 x64, I start to built my project in labview x64. It was more than a year ago, and the project involvoes some cameras, IO board, etc.
There were troubles, such as some devices that I use labview to control don't have x64 drivers or the drivers didn't work properly; however, I manage to make my system work till this moment that I need to embed some Matlab scripts in my project and we just paid for the Mathscripts, but I suddenly realised that Mathscript doesn't support LV 64 bit.
So, the questions are
1. Can I use Mathscripts under LB 64 bit?
2. Even if I can, is that a good idea to stick with lv 64 bit with all those peripheral driver troubles?
Alternatively, shall I migrate to 32 bit LV, I just try to open my project with 32 bit LV 2011, there are lots of missing VIs. It seems I have to spend some time reconnect hundreds of VIs and other unexpected issues?
Either way, I need to spend some time on NOTHING?
Could anyone who has some experience on this issue shed some light on me??
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ravens Fan,
Thanks. This sould like a good approach for my current issue.
But, do you have any general opinion on the 32/64bit LV? Since I start using the 64 bit LV, I had quite a few problems only due to the 64 bit compatibility.
Is it a good idea to keep on the 64 bit track? At the end of the day, how much benefit I gain from using 64bit LV? Is it much faster? I could run a comparison after I make the 32 bit program work, but it's good to hear some other's opinions. One contact of ours from NI told me it's better to use 32bit. What do you think? Thanks.

S7-300 via SIMATIC PC Adapter USB to LabView.

Hi.
Searched forum for answers but nothing exact found...
I'm trying to communicate LabView (read/write) with SIMATIC S7-300 PLC via USB Adapter (MPI->USB).
Tried tutorial with VISA Driver Wizard, but can't do anything without USB Protocol from that adapter...
Anybody have have idea how to solve this?

Hi,
Thanks JK1 for help. I've tried the second option, with Deltalogic OPC server (trial or 90 minutes demo) and it work fine. I can read variables directly from device in excel, using macros (supported by Deltalogic). But now I want to do it in LabView (academic license), so my next question is:
Which OPC client in LabView (best for academic license) should I use?
I know there are 4 options:
-ActiveX Automation interface.
-DataSocket Client.
-Datalogging and Supervisory Control module - DSC
-Shared Variable Engine
And whre can I get any support/tutorial for any of this option?

S7 300 with labview 7

how can i scan "serial" data from the mpi interface of a siemens s7 300 with labview 7

Hello Fubu16,
From the following Link,
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/CC021CD15890283286256A33006EBA74?opendocument
you can extract:
Siemens S7 PLC is a Profibus device that can communicate to a Profibus network through MPI protocol using Profibus interface card, such as an Applicom board. It can also be configured for direct connection with a PC using HMI Adapter, a device that translates MPI protocol into RS-232 protocol. To connect a Siemens S7 PLC to a PC, connect the HMI Adapter to the MPI port on the PLC, and connect the adaptor to the PC serial port using a null-modem serial cable
for more info on the HMI Adapter go to:

thanks
best regards
vijaynagar.

Dear vijaynagar,
it would be posible to communicate with our Comsoft PROFIBUS products like DF PROFI II, FNL or cRIO PB.
Please have a look at:
- DF PROFII: PCI, PCIe, C-PCI or PC104+ card with LabVIEW drivers: Link
- FNL: Ethernet/PROFIBUS Gateway: Link
- cRIO PB, C-Series module for National Instruments FPGA chassis: Link
The DF PROFI II can be bought directly from Comsoft, the cRIO PB can be bought from National Instruments.

IPhone 6 won't play with Kenwood stereo USB port. Help !!

I have a Kenwood KDC-BT743U Stereo in my car, which has a front panel USB port. I've been able to connect my iPhone 4S and play music from my iTunes catalog as well as stream music from Pandora, Soundcloud, Tune In Radio, Mixcloud et al, without any problems until yesterday.....
Now that I've upgraded my phone to a iPhone 6 and when I connect it to the stereo via the USB port, it doesnt play at all. After about 2 minutes of trying to connect , I recieve a 'USB Error" . As I stated, I've had no problems with my iPhone 4S, which I've used with this same stereo deck for the last two years without any problem what so ever.
I'm looking for some guidance on next steps to take in order to fix the problem? Did Apple change the spec in some sort of way? Do I need to go to Kenwood for a firmware update (their website provides no information about iPhone 6 compatability with any of their stereo's which is very odd to me) ?
Please help, my life in the car during long commutes is just not the same......

Possible Solution:
1. Go to Settings > General
2. Go to Restrictions
3. Enter Passcode (possibly x2)
4. Enable Restrictions
5 Disallow CarPlay
6. Reset Network Settings (Not 100% sure if this step is needed)
7. Have at least 1 song in Apple Music App
8. Have Iphone at Home Screen
9. Connect Apple Original Cable
10. That 1 Song should start playing
11. Open Prefered Streaming App and hit Play
Carplay negatively affects USB connection with Non-Carplay USB Audio Receivers.
I have the Iphone 6 with 8.3 iOS connected to Pioneer avh-41000dvd car stereo and the above solution fixed USB audio issues, including Error code 22-65.
If you are having issues upon reconnect, disconnect and bring Iphone to home screen and reconnect.

Can i import the video from a camrecorder with only a USB connection?

Hi, I am very new and may i ask some silly questions? I was using an very old DV camcorder with a firewire connection and it worked fine with my Mac, but now I want to buy a new camcorder and i found that the models I like do not have the firewire links, only they have the USB, the models with the firewire links are very old styles.... can anyone tell me what to do with only the USB link? thanks!

Panasonic HD camcorder, HDC-SD1
Advanced High Definition (AVCHD) isn't supported by Apple you will encounter editing limitations wait for the apple software to catch up with this format.
Panasonic SDR-H250
Panasonic's hard disk model, 3CCD, MPEG2
the only thing this cam has going for it is the 3CCD, converting the already compressed mpeg2 video to the DV format for iMovie will result in an additional lost in quality an will be time comsuming (not to mention the extra app(s) neede for the conversion.
) you'll need for the conversion .
Here's what I'd do. I'd purchase a solid mini DV cam with all the bells and whistles and wait for the dusk to clear on the all new/problematic formats. In the process saving $400 - $500.
Don't become all hyped up with the marketing crap for these new cams. Sony Vegas 7 is the only app I know of that just recently updated to handle the AVCHD format. And until comsumers start burning HD DVDs whats the point. A good mini DV cam will still be viable a couple of years down the road and todays new cams will be cheaper and better.
Here's a sweet cam that will allow you to take videos and edit them in no time.
Sony DCR-HC96,
Analog-to-Digital Converter, external Microphone Input
Analog Audio/Video Input(s) just to mention a few of the most sought after features.
You can find this cam on the web (eg. amazon.com) for about $500.
Then again that's just what I'd do, other my have different advice/suggestions.
Hope this info is of some use.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Won't charge with a enercell charger that I've used since December. It will only charge with the apple USB cord that came with it. And even the takes it about 6 sec. To realize its charging. Help me fix this?

Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.

How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Click Time Machine
Click Options
Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.

I have a Powerbook G4. I want to use an iMac desktop, the model that is shaped llike a lamp, as an external monitor. Can I do this with firewire or USB cable or do I have to have a different cable?

You need a network connection and a product such as ScreenRecycler. All such products require a bootable OS on the iMac.

Problems with my computer (USB 3.0 and LAN)

Hi there,
A few months ago i have built my own computer. I selected the parts and asked if it will work together with no problems.
After I built it and installed Windows 8.1 I detected that almost everything worked. Only the USB 3.0 did not work properly but I had no big worries because it was no big issue for me.
Today I decided to use a LAN connection (cable) instead of using a WIFI adapter. I found that the computer didn't detect the cable. First I thought that there was no signal trough the cable so I checked it. I put the cable in my Playstation 3 and did a Internet test. Everything worked. So I found it strange that the cable didn't worked in the computer (same cable as playstation). I searched the internet if I had installed the correct drivers. After looking in Device manager I found that there was no Internet adapter connected (I disconnected my WIFI adapter). Up to now I didn't resolved the problem but I tried a lot of things.
For the USB 3.0, I found that there is an unkown device (device manager) and when I let it search for the proper driver it says that it don't have enough information.
The name for the device is: USB xHCI-compatible hostcontroller (translated from Dutch). In the BIOS it detects which component I connect to the USB 3.0 Slot but when I am in windows (8.1), It says nothing (not even a sound that it's connected). So I think it is something with the drivers or chipset??
Parts of my computer:
Intel I5 4670K (Haswell) (Socket 1150)
MSI GTX 770
2x Ballistix 4GB RAM memory
Samsung EVO 120GB SSD
Seagate 1TB HDD
MSI B85M-G43
Case is an Fractal Design R4 windowed black
My questions
- How do I install the Networkcard properly
- How do I install the USB 3.0 Properly
I would appreciate it if you could solve the problems for me!
Already thanks!
Jur

Can you share the screen shot of the device manager?
According to B85M-G43, it is equipped with 4 x USB 3.0 ports (2 ports on the back panel, 2 ports available through the Intel USB connectors)
No need to install USB 3.0 driver in WIN8.1 just in-box is okay.
Did you tried the LAN driver from the website?
