I found some information about XDSC named component. Someone has more information about it?. It seems xnode-based technology + scripting

XDSC information

Thanks,

Alejandro

Hi, a friend has send to me a document (spanish language) that explain XDSC toolkit. It seems a beta version of XDSC and I have not found Web information about i-less engineering. I'm translating this document to english.

Best regards,

Alejandro

Yes, the DSC allows programmatic access to shared variables, creating SV etc...

LabVIEW 2009 has a Shared Variable API but it is no where near as powerful as the DSC nor can it do what you are asking.

You can see this post: XDSC

It seems a powerfull toolkit, but I don't have additional information

Hi 'shared brain'.

¡I found a video demo named XDSC_Demo.avi!. This video explains how do you use this component. It seems Xnode-Based Technology...

Does anyone have additional information about this component (XDSC)?

Thanks

Sorry!. You can't download the file from NI ftp server.

I attach compressed file XDSC_Demo

Enjoy and help me to explain this demoXDSC_Demo.zip!!

Thank for all, because I didn't know how works thir forum... sorry about this comment.

Our problem is not Labview DSC power, we want to make easier and faster all the variable definition , it's like Alejandro_i explains... He says something about a new tool, XDSC, what's that? how it works...

Does anyone know anything about XDSC?

Alejandro_i, where can we see the features of this toolkit? we haven't found in any web page...

Hi,

We are starting a DSC project up to 1500 variables. Anyone knows any tools to make faster data binding and manipulate variables properties?

Thanks

Hi, 'shared brain'. I think this is a very big project !!. Based on my experience, shared variable engine (tagger) is enough powerful to develop a application with this number of variables (break your library process between other lesser libraries).

You have a limited set of tools shipped with LabVIEW DSC to configure links between front panel controls and indicators, and shared variables.

1) Front panel binding, available on ‘Tab’ control properties: Data Binding (use PSP option). This option involves long time to implement connections. Imagine 1000 controls on front panel … !.

2) Mass front panel databinding. You should make some .csv file to configure controls and indicators

The two methods exposed have limitations to keep sustainability and scalability. You should think about others application aspects:

- Control maximum, minimum and increment values. User interface should act as input values filter. When you operate a machine or process is very important to prevent you can’t input dangerous values

- Normally, the communication between PC and PLC’s is made by OPC Servers software layer, so you should verify input values are correctly transmitted. It is necessary to control this communication, waiting until input values are written to PLC

- Messages to user to confirm Boolean operations (Run/Stop,…)

- Application scalability. If you have a monitoring system where two or more machines have a similar process variable mapping, you should re-use the code with minimum changes (I think process name is the unique difference between machines)

- …

As you have seen, the tools shipped with LabVIEW DSC are limited, and you should think about a toolkit/scripting tool to resolve these problems.

I have heard exists a component/toolkit named XDSC, developed for a engineering that can you help, because resolve enough problems, and the most important, you can to save a lot of development time.

I will post information soon…
