Connecting between labVIEW and PLC S7-1200 using EPICS

[ahmelsayed]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to connect between LabVIEW and PLC S7-1200 using EPICS. I did it using OPC and it succeeded and the communication was done, so right now i'm trying to do it using EPICS. so Can anyone help me with that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi 32836,

Here is a great example on creating an EPICS Server/Client:

This should help get you started with setting up EPICS Server/Client in LabVIEW to communicate with your PLC.

Hello,Ahmed:

Now I'm trying to conect S7-1200 to Labview by OPC server 2012, I'm newer for both PLC S7-1200 and OPC server. by the help file of NI's OPC I tested many times, but lost totally:(.

You mentioned that you have succeeded making the connection between them, could you please help me :

1) How to set in Simense TIA software? I can set the PLC's IP address now, that's all;

2) OPC server setting.

if there is a video, that will be great.

thanks a lot.
