Using hilscher gateway to allow profibus to labview via ethernet

Could I use a gateway such as this hilscher to communicate between labview and a profibus network (consisting of several S7 315 PLCS) over the ethernet. I want labview to offer some basic control on the profibus network such as start a program cycle on one of the PLCs. Also to be able to read information such as actuator position counters etc. Could I use the TCP/IP features in labview to allow such communication. If I can recieve signals to labview this way. Will it be possible to build a VI to interperate the signals and also send commands that can be interperated by the profibus network. Is there any libraries in Labview dedicated for such communication. I'm new to most of this technology so appologies for asking the obvious.
Any help is graciously appreciated.
Peter.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm not familiar with Hilscher Profibus gateways but I'm pretty sure that they provide an OPC-server that can be accessed through LabVIEW DataSocket functions or for much better performance through LabVIEW DSC. There is also a chance that Hilscher provides a DLL-based API or even LabVIEW vis, but you should check with Hilscher.
From my own experience I would recommend using a Comsoft FNL gateway. Comsoft is very experienced with LabVIEW and they provide a fast and reliable VI-interface for all of their Profibus interfaces.
I don't want to bash the Hilscher products, but as (in contrast to Comsoft products) I don't have any experience with their products, I can't give a competent answer about their APIs.

Use Airport Express Brick N to extend network via ethernet

I have the old brick-style Airport Express N model, which I'm currently using to extend the newer Airport Express hockey puck. The hockey puck is setup to with DHCP and creating the network. The brick is in setup to extend the network using DHCP and in Bridge Mode. When I plugin the Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port of the hockey puck to the brick, I lose all internet connectivity. I seem to recall reading some documentation that said the brick would support ethernet rather than just over-the-air. Thanks for your help!

My question is: can I connect the two via ethernet cable to the extending is happening over the air? I'm not sure the brick is capable of this?
It is possible to "extend" in two different ways:
1) Extend using a wireless connection between the AirPorts. Apple calls this "extend using wireless" during the setup. When you extend this way, about half of the potential speed on the network is lost.
2) Extend using a wired Ethernet connection between the AirPorts. Apple calls this "extend using Ethernet" during the setup. When you extend this way, full bandwidth on the network is maintained since there is no signal loss in a wire.
If you want to "extend using Ethernet", the 2nd Gen AirPort Express must be the "main" router, so you will need to reconfigure it for that purpose. The 1st Gen will also need to be reset back to default settings and reconfigured as well.
Once the 2nd Gen Express is working correctly as the main router, connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN <--> port on the 2nd Gen Express to the Ethernet port on the 1st Gen Express and use AirPort Utility for the setup.

Using time capsule to share internet connection with a pc via ethernet

Hi,
I've recently acquired a time capsule and was wondering if i could use it to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet to my non-wireless (windows 7) pc?
My current situation is that i have a wireless modem/router that shares my internet connection wirelessly with my mac mini.
I have a pc without a wireless card that i want to connect to the wireless network so i was wondering if it was possible to attach the pc and the time capsule with an ethernet cable, then connect the time capsule to the wireless network and share the internet connection with the pc.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so how?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussion area!
IF...your wireless network is now being created by another Apple "n" router like an AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or Time Capsule, it would be possible to do what you want to do.
But the Time Capsule would not be compatible for what you want if your wireless is created by another manufacturer's router. The Time Capsule could "join" this wireless network so that backups would occur over wireless. However, when the Time Capsule is configured this way, the ethernet ports on the device are not active, so this would not help with the ethernet connection that your computer needs.
A new AirPort Express 802.11n would do what you want. It has the capability of joining virtually any wireless network and the ethernet port can be enabled using the ProxySTA feature, so it would work for your purpose.

Use Time Capsule as a Hard Drive via Ethernet for Time Machine

Hi Folks
To summarise a very very long story here goes;
- About 12 months ago my father in law buys a Time Capsule without really knowing what it is for and how it works (I know don't ask!!!!!)
- I set it up for him connected to his wireless router so he uses his router to access the internet and uses the Time Capsule to back up his iMac via wireless with Time Machine. (from what I can see he could have saved himself some cash and just bought an external Hard Drive and connect it via USB to the iMac for Time Machine, but never mind. He has 1 iMac and no other Mac's in the household. His printer is connected to his iMac via USB in the same room and he uses a wireless router to access the internet, since the phone point is in another room)
- All is well until Monday when he tells me he cannot access the internet. After much much trial and error I have eventually managed to get his internet back up and running, but he has somehow managed to erase his Time Capsule.
- I set his Time Capsule back up as it was previously and it starts performing the initial backup again. However at the rate its taking I think it will take well in excess of 24hrs to do that initial
backup. Also so far It has failed 3 times during this initial backup and I get an error message stating it's failed. The setup guide makes reference to performing the initial backup via ethernet as it's quicker.
I'm thinking the best way forward would be to just plug the Time Capsule into the iMac via ethernet and use it purely as a Hard Drive for use with Time Machine. I've tried just plugging in the ethernet cable from the Time Capsule to the iMac, but it doesn't recognise it. Bear in mind that it currently works via wireless, do I need to perform some sort of factory reset or how do I go about telling the the iMac to no longer use the Time Capsule wireless, but just connect via ethernet instead.
Of course I could just forget about the Time Capsule all together and tell him to get a 500gb USB External Hard Drive, plug that in and set up Time Machine with that instead.
Am I missing the point here and can the Time Capsule do a lot more for him, given his current setup.
Thanks

That is true but if you mix your files with the Time Machine backups, Time Machine will have trouble contril disk space when it gets low.
If you are going to do that it is recommended that you partition the drive. Since Time Capsule is not able to partition the drive that means you will have to remove it in order to partition it.
A simple solution IMO is to get another external drive and hang it on the USB bus in the Time Capasule.

Deploy SCOM 2012 R2 Agents to Domain Servers on Perimeter Network using SCOM Gateway on different Domain

Hi, I have a bit odd situation on a SCOM 2012R2 deployment.
I have a MS on the internal network, and a Gateway Server on the perimeter network. Each server is connected to different Active Directory Forests and there are no trust relationships between them. I configured the communication between the two using certificates.
I have already connected some servers through the Gateway using certificates because there are on Workgroups, they are already approved on the MS and reporting their status.
However, I have some servers that are member servers of the internal AD domain but are located on the perimeter network.
So I've tried to configure one of them for testing to connect to the Gateway Server using a certificate using manual agent installation. Initially it didn't report on the SCOM, but then I ran the get-scompendingmanagement and saw that it showed there,
so I ended up approving the agent using Powershell and then it was reported on the Console as "Not Monitored"
First the agent was running as local system and then tried using a local admin account on the server, neither options have worked.
I get the following errors:
The OpsMgr Connector connected to scomgateway.externaldomain.com, but the connection was closed immediately after authentication occurred. The most likely cause of this error is that the agent is not authorized to communicate with the server, or the
server has not received configuration. Check the event log on the server for the presence of 20000 events, indicating that agents which are not approved are attempting to connect.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
OpsMgr was unable to set up a communications channel to scomgateway.externaldomain.com and there are no failover hosts. Communication will resume when scomgateway.externaldomain.com is available and communication from this computer is allowed.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Is this configuration possible? Or do I need to open communication ports from the agents to the MS inside the corporate network and not use the Gateway?
Any ideas if someone else has done this are appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards.
Eduardo Rojas

I'm sorry, maybe I didn't explained myself correctly, I already have the gateway up and running with some Workgroup machines connected to it using certificates, so the Gateway is indeed working. These Workgroup machines are in fact reporting back to the
Management Server on the internal network through the Gateway.
My problem is with Domain Member machines that are on the perimeter network. This machines are joined to the Active Directory inside the corporate firewall, not the Active directory from the perimeter network (where the Gateway is joined). So my question
is, can I connect these machines through the Gateway (even if the Gateway is on a different domain) or do I need to open ports and connect them directly to the management server (which is on the same active directory domain)?
Let me know if I made myself clear.
Thank you.
Regards.

Can I enable "Use default gateway on remote network" on VPN connection using Group Policy?

Hi,
First timer here so please bear with me!
Environment: Domain Windows 2003, Clients: Windows 7 and Windows XP (with Client Side Extensions pushed out)
When creating a VPN connection on a client machine manually with default settings the "Use default gateway on remote network" found in [Connection Properties - Networking - IPv4 - Advanced] is enabled, which is good as we don't allow split-tunneling.
I have a test GPO that creates a new VPN Connection [Computer Config - Preferences - Control Panel - Network Options], but the above setting is unticked.
Am I missing something on the options for the GP preference to set this automtically?
I can write a script to directly change the C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk file but would prefer if I could sort it all out using Group Policy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
David

Shane,
There is actually a way to set the "Use default gateway on remote network" through Group Policy Preferences. And this may even be a better way to do it, because you may change this flag without touching any other settings, or other VPN connections.
(All VPN connections are stored in the same .pbk file.)
Here's the trick: Opening the .pbk file in notepad, I realized that this is actually an oldstyle ini-structured file. And Group Policy Preferences can update ini files! In the .pbk file the section names are the VPN connections names, like [My VPN],
and the property IpPrioritizeRemote is the flag "Use default gateway on remote network".
So, in Group Policy Management Editor, go to Preferences / Windows Settings / Ini Files.
Create a new object with Action = Update, and File Path =
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Connections\pbk\rasphone.pbk
(If this is where your file is located, I guess it is in c:\users if the VPN connection is made for a single user.)
Section Name should be the display name of your VPN connection, without the brackets.
Property Name = IpPrioritizeRemote
Property Value = 1
Peter, www.skov.com, Denmark
Peter :-)
This is great, but just one question. I also want to append a list of DNS Sufixes in order (when viewing a VPN properties, this is buried in
"Networking --> IPv4/6 --> Advanced --> DNS --> Append these DNS Suffixes (in order)". However, for the VPNs I have manually created with this list populated, I can't see any entries in the rasphone.pbk. Does anyone know
where these are stored?
Cheers.

I am using report generation toolkit 1.1 with Labview 7.0 and Office 2003 professional. The create new report VI opens Excel but throws error (-2147167262- from automation open VI) when I try to open MS word. please help...

Hi Leo22,
Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

How to set Different applications running on the same computer to use different Gateways?

Dear All,
I would like to have different applications running on the same computer to use different Gateways (both gateways are in the same subnet).
Is it possible in Windows7 with / without a third-party utility?
Current scenario & requirements:
I have two internet connections. Both are in the same subnet (192.168.1.0/24) and connected to the same LAN switch
Gateway for the first connection is 192.168.1.1
Gateway for the second connection is 192.168.1.2
I need to set my chrome browser & google talk to use the gateway 192.168.1.1
I need to set my IE & skype to use the gateway 192.168.1.2
Is it possible? Answers are appreciated!!
Regards,
Anees

Hi,
I agree with Bill. Gateway is essentially an IP address for one network to other networks. For example, you have two networks: network A and network B, to make the two networks communicate with each other, you must go through Gateway. That is, as long
as you set Gateway, then you can make the two networks communicate with each other. The ip address for Gateway is the ip of device with routing enabled. One host machine can own multiple gateways.

How do you use a Gateway with Remote Resources on a Mac (8.0.5)?

I might be missing something obvious, but I have a Gateway configured in the OS X 8.0.5 client, but when connecting to remote resources it does not seem to use it. When you configure a connection to a specific machine there is a drop down for using one of
the preconfigured gateways but not when configuring remote resources. I see no evidence a gateway is being used when I try to connect to a RemoteApp from off site.
Am I missing something?

Hi,
Firstly, why do you think that remote resources does not use RD Gateway? Please let us know more details.
Meanwhile, please make sure that the configurations are correct on the RD Gateway server.

Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

Hi,
To access the MIDI ports you will need to call the Windows SDK. To send MIDI commands is relatively easy, here is an example that shows you how to send data to a MIDI controller or keyboard.
As far as input goes, this is the hard part. There are a series of functions that you need to call to open up the device, set some buffers and and possibly a callback to get notifications on the incoming data.
Reading MIDI data will not be an easy task, your best bet will be to implement this in a DLL and call that DLL in LabVIEW, there should be some code available o the web.
= "http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_multimedia_... is a link to the Windows multimedia functions that you could use for MIDI input.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

[URGENT] Get Inbound Message in EBS Using XML Gateway + SOAP

Hi experts,
I want to ask you about how to process the inbound message using XML Gateway and SOAP protocol.
I have 2 EBS instances, let's called it A (source) and B (destination).
FYI, I'm following this ebook: "Oracle E-Business Suite Development and Extensibility Handbook" in chapter 12 regarding Oracle XML Gateway.
So I don't use BPEL PM to do this.
I'm just using EBS with XML Gateway and Integrated SOA Gateway responsibilities.
When I tried to send the XML from A to B using OXTA, it's success, the data can be processed in B and could store in the database.
But when I tried to use SOAP, the XML message that has been sent from A is success, and when I check it on B (Integrated SOA Gateway -> SOA Monitor), the message is in there and I can see the SOAP request and response as well.
SOAP request:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

But the problem is the message that has been got in B can't store into the database yet.
I had already changed the Queue in the XML Gateway -> Define Transaction, from APPLSYS.ECX_IN_OAG_Q (this is for OXTA) to APPLSYS.WF_WS_JMS_IN.
After I invoke the webservice and the SOAP message has been got in B, I checked APPLSYS.WF_WS_JMS_IN in database and there is 1 record, the value of USER_DATA column is:
((, , , , , , ((BES_EVENT_NAME, 100, oracle.apps.fnd.wf.ws.inbound.xmltx.receive, , 27), (BES_EVENT_KEY, 100, 796550960, , 27), (BES_PRIORITY, 200, , 1, 23), (BES_FROM_AGENT, 100, [email protected], , 27), (BES_TO_AGENT, 100, [email protected], , 27), (MSG_ID, 100, 1334117503435, , 27), (ECX_MESSAGE_TYPE, 100, XML, , 27), (ECX_MESSAGE_STANDARD, 100, OAG, , 27), (ECX_PARTY_SITE_ID, 100, 142, , 27), (WS_PORT_OPERATION, 100, ReceiveDocument, , 27), (ECX_TRIGGER_ID, 100, 7101, , 27), (UserId, 100, 3020, , 27), (ECX_USERNAME, 100, CONS.ADE, , 27), (ECX_TRANSACTION_SUBTYPE, 100, ORDER_DETAILS_XO, , 27), (ECX_PASSWORD, 100, CONS.ADE, , 27), (ECX_DOCUMENT_NUMBER, 100, 9285, , 27), (BES_PAYLOAD_OBJECT, 100, false, , 27), (ECX_ATTACHMENTS, 100, , , 27), (ECX_TRANSACTION_TYPE, 100, XKLB, , 27), , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )), 0, , )
When I tried to select APPLSYS.WF_WS_JMS_IN for the 2nd time, there is no result, which means the business event has been triggered, right?
So in this point I still don't have any idea why the process is (likely) ended after enter the Queue and the message can't store into B's database yet.
Do I miss any setup when changing from OXTA into SOAP protocol to send XML message?
Any urgent help most appreciated.
Best Regards,
Rheza
