best way to connect DIAdem to RIO

[wilburwu]

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to read the state on a sbRIO using DIAdem.

I have an application (.exe) which controls the sbRIO. On the same computer I have a DIAdemDAC to record the measurement data from the other system. The DIAdem has to record the states (for instance, On/Off, AI...) on the sbRIO.

As I'm new on DIAdem, I'm considering the following ways to read the data from sbRIO on DIAdem:

1. read the indicaters on the application using run-time engine

2. connect to sbRIO using DAC (but I don't know how to) 

3. connect the I/Os between the sbRIO and the DAC and get the value directly from hardware

Could anyone give me some advices about which should be the best way for doing this?

Hi Wilbuwu,

there is no way to connect directly your sbRIO with a dedicated block in DIAdem DAC.

What you can do is to define in your LV project network variables hosted by your windows system to carry the desired information out of the sbRIO.

In DIAdem you can access to such variable through the OPC Client block (see attached picture).

This should be enough for your application.
