The NI-Industrial Communications for DNP3 (Distributed Network Protocol) driver supports Ethernet and serial communication, file transfer and time synchronization between master and substation. These LabVIEW functions support you in programming on Windows computers and provision on PXI controllers or CompactRIO single-board controllers for field applications. With the driver you can use several communication channels per substation and several sessions per channel.
Note: LabVIEW now includes Nigel AI Advisor.
Nigel AI Advisor provides contextual advice, automation, and deeper insights into your NI software. Unlike universal AI advisors, Nigel is specifically optimized for test application development. It builds on decades of testing expertise and reliable data, not only providing more accurate answers, but also presenting them in technical formats such as tables and charts—so you can make informed decisions faster.
Nigel will help you with this:
- Learn NI software faster
- Develop applications faster
- Check code more efficiently
- Automate test sequences
- Easy setup of hardware and test environments
Nigel is available for TestStand and LabVIEW. The application is optional and can be disabled if necessary; an active internet connection is required for use.
