Devicenet control with LabVIEW

[Logical Solutions]

I am looking for a devicenet master to work with my laptop that does NOT have a PCMCIA slot. Like a USB or ethernet devicenet master that will work with LabVIEW.

Hello **bleep** dyson,

The only DeviceNet formfactors that we have at this time are PCI, PXI, and PCMCIA.

Please see NI Connectivity to Industrial Communications for more information.

Hello there,

While our DeviceNet products have changed since 2011, unfortunately NI doesn't have a USB DeviceNet offering. Our current DeviceNet products are for PCI, PXI, and CompactRIO.

Since DeviceNet is based off of CAN, it is possible to use one of our USB CAN products, but this would require you to create the code that implements the DeviceNet specification on top of CAN messages.

Thanks dncen

how difficult is it to implement the dnet specs, is there a guide / tutorial / example code i can use?

There's an example here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-20066

Generally when you install drivers, you can find examples contained in the Example Finder.  Help->Find Examples.  Choose to view the tree and go to Hardware Input and Output and find the drivers you've installed.  This is often the best starting point to find examples.
