LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module Concepts

August 2006, 371618B-01

The LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module extends the LabVIEW graphical development environment with additional functionality for the rapid development of distributed measurement, control, and high-channel-count monitoring applications.

The DSC Module also enhances the LabVIEW shared variable. Use the shared variable to access and pass data among several VIs in a LabVIEW project or across a network. A shared variable can represent a value or an I/O point. With the DSC Module, you can log data automatically; add alarming, scaling, and security to the shared variable; and configure the shared variable programmatically.

The DSC Module also provides tools for graphing historical or real-time trends, enhancing the security of front panels, and writing custom I/O servers. You can read or write to OLE for Process Control (OPC) connections, programmable logic controllers (PLC), or custom I/O servers that you write. The DSC Module provides solutions for supervisory control of a wide variety of distributed systems using graphical LabVIEW programming.
