Link Labview and Movicon (a Scada with OPC)

[fabiospark]

Hi.
I have to read and write some numerical values from a SCADA (Progea Movicon X) and link them to the inputs and output of a fuzzy controller I developed with Labview (7.1).
On Labview side, I can only see Datasocket as a way to "publish" the output value to a Datasocket server and to "subscribe" to it to get the inputs.
Trouble is that in the Movicon list of networking drivers I can't see any Datasocket one. As I know it is OPC compliant, which way I should use to pass those values to and from the two apps?
Considering I have to pass only three integer numbers in total, I would not be too happy if I should spend a lot of money to get the OPC CD servers just for that, so I'm looking for some other way, if any exists.
Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, the DS server is NOT an OPC server and DS only supports OPC as a client, so what you might need to do is define the tags in your own server and then write to them using DS. You can also simply bind the tag to a control.
