How can I call functions of a CVI dll from a Siemens WinAC system?

I want to integrate functions of a CVI dll into a Siemens WinAC program. Does anyone know a convenient way to do this? Thanks in advance...

I've never used it, but in taking a quick look on the Siemens website, it looks like you need the WinAC ODK.  Download the manual here:

http://support.automation.siemens.com/US/llisapi.dll/csfetch/19256518/WInAC_ODK_V4-1_e.pdf?func=csli...

 

Here's a description from the manual.

 

The Windows Automation Center Open Development Kit (WinAC ODK) is an open interface to WinAC

controllers. It provides a set of tools that enables you to implement custom software in C/C++ that works

with your STEP 7 control program for WinLC Basis, WinLC RTX, or Slot PLCs (CPU 41x-2 PCI.) These two

interfaces are the Custom Code Extension (CCX) and the Shared Memory Extension (SMX.)

It also provides an interface that allows you to implement a custom application in Visual Basis, Visual

C/C++, C#, or Borland Delphi 7 to get values from or set values in a WinAC controller for specific predefined

controller features. This interface is the Controller Management Interface (CMI.)
