Hello,
I’m trying to read the process value from 7 Omron E5CK temp controllers. I’m new to LabView especially working with serial communication. The VI. I created does work but it’s horribly slow, I can only imagine that there is an easier way to read the values. Basically I just copied the “Read Proccess Value VI” seven times and tossed in a waveform chart and a write to file. Ideally I would like to take one sample of the values every 30 min. and write to an excel spread sheet. I’m measuring values of multiple large water tanks that change temp very slowly so speed is not a concern I just want to create a reliable VI that can run for days at a time. There has got to be a more efficient way of doing this. Eventually I would like to expand to 14 controllers. The Controllers can work with RS-232C and RS-485 communication. Any help or tips on cleaning up my VI would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help.
Chad
