Experience with Profibus in PXI

[gcsmit]

Does anyone have experience with combining a DAQ PXI system with a Profibus? Can this cause problems and does it handle well under labview? (the profibus card is placed inside the PXI chassis). All hints and suggestions are welcome.

Hello,

Although I have not used Profibus, there should not be any reason why it would conflict with the DAQ hardware or driver. Also, as far as LabVIEW goes, there should not be any conflicts running both. I have worked with customers using other standards similar to Profibus and have not run into any inherent problems,

For what you want to use PROFIBUS?
To communicate with DP Slaves, or to exchange data between Labview and Simatic S7, through FDL, FMS ?
Or you can link it by OPC Server?
