ArshadMahmood Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hi, I have just come across DAQFactory s/w, and I think it could be very useful for what I need. I want to use Beckhoff Ethernet coupler(BK900) to talk to their i/o devices. Has this been done before and how?

AzeoTech Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm not sure if anyone else has tried, but you should be able to communicate with these devices. You actually have three choices, in order of preference: 1) use the native DAQFactory modbus TCP driver to communicate with these devices directly. This is by far the preferred way because no extra software is needed. 2) it appears they have an OPC server for their hardware. DAQFactory is an OPC client and therefore could communicate with their server 3) they provide DLL's that you could link to using the extern() function in DAQFactory. As I said, #1 is the choice I recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
