Please, help me.!!!

I can´t connecto the PLC Koyo to LabVIEW with OPC, I dont find the tools for this PLC,

This controller has a Serial port, so you can "communicate" using VISA.  While "modern" PCs no longer have serial ports, there are numerous USB-to-serial converters, so you could use one (and an appropriate Serial cable) to connect your PC (running LabVIEW) to the PLC.

Hi qz6y7q.

You can find a list of the supported drivers here.

I didn't find that exact name, but I did find that the AutomationDirect/Koyo DirectNET DL 06 is supported. Is this the same device?

After looking for them on OPC Servers 2012, I found that they show up just as "AutomationDirect" and its variants, but they should correspond to the Koyo devices listed in the document.

If your device is not listed, you can communicate with it directly like Bob_Schor suggested.

Regards.

Something else to research is that I just learned today that a bunch of "big name" PLC vendors private label the Koyo products. That might be another source.
