MKS MacroNode I/O Control

[Mark K]

I have an MKS MacroNode I/O Block (Ethernet Communication) that I am trying to find drivers which will allow me to communicate with it.  I would like to be able to read and write digital bits as well as monitor analog inputs.

I am currently using the CONTROLweb User Interface in order to do this.

But, what I would really like to be able to do is to communicate with this MKS MacroNode using LabView so that I can automtate the test that I am developing in LabView.

Could someone point me in the right direction or does anybody have VI's for this?

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

It doesn't look like there are any specific instrument drivers for this device, but you should be able to communicate with the device using NI-VISA or the Modbus LabVIEW Library.  Your device appears to support both methods of communication.
