Profibus Communication with LabVIEW

[velaravind07]

Does NI Still support PXI Profibus hardware with profibus DP communication? If not, is there any other way to interface a Profibus PA device with LabVIEW?

It's a long time that I looked into this but the most likely to get you anywhere is probably Hilscher.

It's not an out of the box experience as LabVIEW support from Hilscher is rather non-existent nowadays. But there are some people here in the forum who have interfaced to the Hilscher cifX drivers calling into their DLLs. It's doable but not for the faint hearted who feels intimidated by DLLs and C programming documentation.
