PROFIBUS interface
COMSOFT

The COMSOFT PROFIBUS VISA Driver equips National Instrument's LabVIEW™ with a real-time PROFIBUS DP connection providing a powerful extension of the application range in the test and automation sector. The package including hardware and software is based on the COMSOFT DF PROFI II board, available in PCI, PCIe, CPCI and PC104+ format. These different formats as well as the real-time VISA driver concept can be integrated in different LabVIEW™ systems and platform combinations. An installation in a classical PC system under LabVIEW™ for Windows is just as possible as in a real-time PXI system under LabVIEW™ RT, e.g. as a high performance PAC system for time-critical test applications or industrial automation applications.
