National Instruments Corporation NI-Industrial Communications for IEC 60870-5
NI-Industrial Communications for IEC 60870-5, version 16.0 (part number 781647-35), is a software add-on from National Instruments that enables LabVIEW and NI programmable automation controllers to communicate using the IEC 60870-5 protocol. This protocol is widely used in electrical substation automation and telecontrol applications. The software provides support for both IEC 60870-5-101 (serial communication) and IEC 60870-5-104 (Ethernet communication) standards, allowing users to develop, test, and deploy industrial automation systems that require interoperability with SCADA and energy management systems. The package includes driver libraries, example code, and documentation to facilitate integration and rapid development within the NI software ecosystem.
