Has anyone used Ethernet Gateway and LabVIEW, communicating with Ethernet/IP protocol ?

[zneijk]

I have a PLC system (Jokab Safety B20)  together with Ethernet Gateway (also Jokab Safety type E1).

What I want to do is to communicate with this unit using LabVIEW Ethernet/IP.

Read a couple of data and write a couple.

Has anyone anything like this with LabVIEW and Ethernet/IP ?

I'm completely new to using PLC's, but I have made a minimum PLC application, but can't get communication to work with LabVIEW (+ Ethernet/IP).

i generally use an OPC server to talk to he PLC and then use Datasocket to talk to the OPC server tags.

if that gaetway thing is an OPC server then you maybe abel to do data socket R/W via it.

Otherwise the NI OPC server may support that widget and (at the rate I bill out) is a good deal in the eyes of most of my customers.
