communicating with watlow mls-300

[PLXZ]

One of our project requires Labview control on a Watlow MLS-300 process controller via serial port.

Labview is used to monitor temperature and be able to modify the temperature setpoint. We are trying to find out how to communicate to and control the controller.

Thanks,

Hi PLXZ,

There is a LabVIEW Modbus library that you can use to control your device.  It can be found here: https://forums.ni.com/t5/Reference-Design-Content/LabVIEW-Modbus-API/ta-p/3524019.  You will be able to use this to communicate with your device through LabVIEW.  Here is a bit of information on modbus and how it works.  https://www.ni.com/en/shop/labview/introduction-to-modbus-using-labview.html .
