<p>Using an Adam-5000/6000 TCP module with Labview</p><p>There are two ways to use an ADAM-5000/6000 TCP series modules in Labview – Modbus/TCP OPC or ActiveX</p><p>Modbus/TCP OPC Method</p><p>This method uses the Advantech Modbus/TCP OPC Server</p><p>1) Configure the Modbus/TCP OPC server (Adam-5000TCP shown, but it’s the same for an Adam-6000) 2) Create a Numeric indicator in Labview and then connect it to the Modbus/TCP OPC server. 3) Select the Modbus/TCP OPC server that you want to connect to and then Browse to the data (tag). 4) Select the Tag from your Modbus/TCP OPC server. 5) Attach the Tag to the Numeric control. 6) Run the VI and notice the Modbus data is updated in the Numeric control. ActiveX Method</p><p>This method uses the Advantech AdamTCPX library which must be installed on the computer.</p><p>1) Add an ActiveX Container to your VI as shown below. 2) R-Click in the ActiveX Container and then select “Insert ActiveX Object”. 3) Select the ADAMTCP Control. 4) The ADAMTCP control should appear in your Block Diagram view.</p><p>Load the Adam5000TCP_DIO.vi example for reference on how to configure the ADAMTCP control. This example will work with Adam-6000 modules with very little or no changes.</p>
