Using RTI DDS for LabVIEW with a PLC

[Braniac89]

Greetings,

I'm currently working on changing the data communication method between a PC (running a LabVIEW application) and a PLC (SEIEMENS S7-1500) from OPC SERVER to RTI DDS.

I still don't know if it's possible to use RTI DDS between LabVIEW and SIEMENS PLC as there are no indications of the existance of a certain functional block that assures communication via that protocol.

My question is it possible to exchange data between a PC and PLC via RTI DDS ?

If YES how can i use it ?

A quick Google search:

So it looks like LabVIEW can handle it.

According to the link below it may be possible.

The Industrial Internet of Things targets industrial systems. Protocols, such as DDS can merge with traditional approaches in the industry, such as OPC UA. Together, these systems can build a much more intelligent industrial future.

RTI actually has a LabVIEW section on their forum where you might get more info.

Unless someone here finds this thread and answers, it might be easier to contact RTI and Siemens support and ask them.
