gregaxisne.com Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Does anyone know if the PMAC PANEL PRO2 functions with the latest Labview 2010 running on XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I can't say for sure, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. Unless you have an existing project that you are upgrading, I would stay away from the PMAC Panel product. It uses dll calls, and the new Pcommserver is the best way to go. I have done quite a bit with Labview and ActiveX calls to Pcommserver. It is much more stable, and you can have both your Labview application and PEWIN32PRO2 open and communicating at the same time. I can send you some basic VIs that show how it is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to read and set some m,p, and I vars via a cRio over ethernet. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omron Forums Support Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Please feel free to post your work (e.g., Example VIs interacting with PCommServer) for others' reference; it could be helpful material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Here is a basic example. There are other ways to do the same things, but this example will show you how to do what is needed in 95% of applications.Pcommserver Example.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDM Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Brian, I'm using your example successfully. Thanks for sharing it. -Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Glad to help. I have thought about putting together a LabVIEW driver set based on PcommServer, but I am not sure if there would be much of a market for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 If I make many substaintaily additions then I'll post them up here. The machine that Im working on still uses LabVIEW 7.1, so I was glad (and a little surprised) to see that your VIs opened for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MClement Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 We started a project using Labview and Panel Pro and ended up scrapping the whole thing and starting over with C# and pcommserver. Labview and PanelPro was just to cumbersome to use for us. If you are a labview power user it should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
