Thanks for comments,

Hi jein!!

 

 

Thank you for using NI Discussion Forums!!  While there is no specific Communication API for KNX in LabVIEW, you can use OPC Servers to connect with your device.  The OPC Foundation has released three major versions of the OPC specification. LabVIEW currently supports the following versions of the OPC DA Specification:

 

  • Version 1.0—DataSocket Client.
  • Version 2.x—DataSocket Client, Variable Engine OPC Server, (DSC Module) DSC OPC Client.
  • Version 3.0—Variable Engine OPC Server, (DSC Module) DSC OPC Client.

 

If you look up the OPC foundation site linked http://www.opcfoundation.org/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?CM=1&RI=8303&CU=1, you will find that this server uses DA 2.0. So you should be able to access it using Datascokets or DSC, although I have not found any tests that prove the compatibility.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Regards!

Check KNX's web site for the model of your unit. They may have an SDK and .Net dll's you could call from LabVIEW.
