ladder logic capabilities

[ten10ten]

I was wondering if LabView has ladder logic capabilities. I would like to replace the Programmable Logic Controllers that I have with an integrated computer system. Do you think that this is possible? Thanks.

No! LabViews programming paradigma is inherently different than ladder
logic, with LabVIEW being dataflow driven and highly parallel, while
ladder logic is very sequential.

You can program PLC like programs in LabVIEW with its boolean operators
but that is probably not exactly what you want.

I agree with Rolf's response your Q #1 re:Ladder logic.

Re:Q #2 Replace PLC's...

Yes, I have deployed app's in LV-Real-Time on FP platforms.
