fieldbus control using labview

Wireless control between a pc and fieldbbus device using transciever.Using  2 transcievers, one is connected to the fieldbus device and the others is connected to the pc RS232 serial port.Just like to find out what are the ways i can do to communicate my hoist system(NI-FBus) to the transceiver(pc) which is connected to the RS232 port so that the system can detect the fieldbus device.Thks.

I'm sorry, but this kind of connection cannot work between the host and the devices. Actually, only 2 kinds of connections are available for FF communications.

1. Using NI-FBUS Interface Card
NI-FBUS interfaces connect FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices to standard personal computers: desktop, industrial, and notebook. These interfaces, which connect to H1 (31.25 kb/s) networks, are available in 1 and 2-port configurations. NI-FBUS CM (communications manager) software for Windows 2000/XP is included with each interface. Please refer to the following link for details.

2. Using Ethernet and HSE (High Speed Ethernet) Linking Device
The HSE Linking Device acts as a bridge between the host and the device. It connects to the device through the H1 network and connects to the host through the Ethernet network.

Hope it helps!
