NI-Industrial Communications for Ethernet / IP is application software that supports the use of CompactRIO controllers, CompactRIO single board controllers, PXI controllers, Compact Vision Systems, smart cameras, industrial controllers or stand-alone CompactDAQ Systems. It contains an extensive library of LabVIEW VIs and properties that you can use to create custom Ethernet / IP applications for compatible Ethernet / IP hardware devices. The driver has mechanisms for explicit messaging and I / O data communication. These mechanisms enable communication and data exchange with a large number of programmable logic controllers (PLC) and I / O devices for EtherNet / IP.
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.
