Well G,
Prentice Hall published a book called, "labWindows/CVI Programming for Beginners" (ISBN:0-13-016512-3) that teaches how to build drivers and more. It will probably give you a bigger picture than someone opinion of the "best route", if you know what I mean.

Hope helps you again and again,

You will have to get the Prodave 511 driver from your Siemens vendor with a serial communication cable. You then can get it pretty easy to work with LabView using the "call library function".

Success.

I believe National Instruments has a driver in their PLC protocols driver
set. LabVIEW 5.1 can communicate with it using its OPC client function.
This is found in the example directory under COMM.

Good Luck
