Panel Meter Communication Library for LabVIEW™

This VI library contains VIs (Virtual Instruments) and example code for implementing communication between National Instruments LabVIEW™ and one or more Red Lion® Controls* CUB5 series panel meters via RS‐485 serial bus. The library also supports communication via USB or RS-232 serial to a single device. It meets NI Compatible with LabVIEW quality standards .

Panel Meter communication with LabVIEW to provide input data or to allow meter configuration

Panel meters communicate with NI LabVIEW to provide input data or to allow meter configuration

Communication between LabVIEW and panel meters allows expanded capabilities such as the ability to log and trend input values or to remotely change the configurations, while maintaining an operator readout at the point of measurement.

A single instance of LabVIEW running on a PC can access multiple panel meters and other devices throughout an installation via the RS‐485 bus to provide a central view or coordinated control and data acquisition capability at very low cost.

RS-485 serial communication is a simple and robust 2 (or 4) wire industrial capable solution for multiple devices. The libraries turn RS-485 communication into a “drag-n-drop” coding process without worrying about synchronizing timing or remembering register addresses. Labor-saving, device-specific palettes of VIs provide quick access to the features you need. Friendly controls and typedefs save you from having to remember command options and interpreting responses.
