Sir,

I am working with maxDNA system of Metso Atomation in a thermal power plant. I want to use online data from maxDNA to my application in VB / MS Excel. This application is about performance calculation of heaters. But I do not know how to proceed. Can I use maxDNA data in applications like MATLAB or LABVIEW?

Hope to get a reply.
Thank you.

Both MATLAB & LABVIEW allows DDE and thus getting data for them should not be a problem. since there will be a slight delay owing to data collection by the MaxDNA system & presentation to the computing package in MATLAB/LABVIEW, real time presentation is triffle difficult. But as the performance calculation is for heaters, delay is quite acceptable. I hope you will be running the computation package in stand alone PC. The cost of MATLAB/LABVIEW might make it difficult for the end user ;-)
 
- maxcalc software package is available for performance calculation purpose using on line data. In this complete steam property table is available , it is added advantage for calculation purpose.
using Vb script/coding is used for calculation and reports.
For details contact Metso (MaxDna )

Yes, It is possible to get Max data on VB and on Excel.

For excel there is a license that connects to maxStorian called Excel DDE.

For VB the best is maxapps and then you should use the mcssbpctl object.
