We are currently using a Beckhoff PLC for data acquisition and we want to transition to using LabVIEW due to the more appealing interface than Twincats Visualization. Before we purchase the license, we want to make sure we can communicate and read our data from our modules. I've done this before, about 6 years ago, with the AdsOcx block but since then this might have changed. I can't seem to find it on the block diagrams or installing an ADS package didn't seem to help. I might be going about installing the package wrong. I was wondering if anyone can provide help on getting this communcation to happen with my modules so we know we do not need to purchase any additional hardware to make this happen. Thank you

Yes, you can integrate LabVIEW and Beckhoff.
There are also library to do this. Or you can use ADS using ActiveX.
