Re: FINS Ethernet driver

Does the OPC server create too much traffic over the network? I got an application using a Omron PLC and 3 client pc running labview. Communicating via NI OPC using shared variables. The comms seems fine when the applications is ran on 1 or 2 of the PC. However, if I ran all 3 application simultaneously things starts gething very slow. Lots of lags. How to improve this?

Not sure it is even relevant. The original post got removed, most likely because it was some copy looted from reddit or some other place to create a legit looking post here.

 

But the FINS protocol is not really rocket science.

While its full implementation would likely take a few months of work and result in a VI library of 100 or more different VIs, that is hardly what any normal user would require in a first step. Implementing a generic low level layer and on top of that a few command implementations would not take more than a day or two of work, less if you just require a proof of concept solution.
