There are a few ways you can integrate Wonderware and LabVIEW:
1. OPC -- Wonderware supports OPC. You could either use LabVIEW-DSC which is both an
OPC Server and a Client. Or, use DataSocket to talk OPC.
2. DDE -- Wonderware originally used DDE for IO communication. They still support it.
3. Listing this one just for the sake of it, it's not practical IMHO: create (or
search for) a Modbus Slave in LabVIEW, and use serial port to talk to it from
Wonderware.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Subject: Wonderware and Labview?
Hi;
May I ask the list:
1- Has anybody tried to integrate a Labview code with "wonderware"?
2- How is it possible to communicate with wonderware?
Basically, I want to have an application in Labview and the client wants the results
of the
test to be shown in "wonderware" front panel. I don't know anything about wonderware
but I assume it must be possible to pass the data to this application, somehow.
(I am going to use my own PC and talk to wonderware on another PC or whatever
hardware that it is using)
Maybe RS232, or ethernet, or even I/O?
Any help or ideas are much appreciated
PS. After spending long time learning LV (and still don't know much), I don't fancy
starting
to learn Wonderware (maybe I will have to though:)
Cheers
