CanOpen with IXXAT USB-to-CAN

Solved!
Go to solution

Good afternoon,
 
I'm trying to make the CanOpen communication protocol between IXXAT - USB-to-CAN device and labview. So, I'm having problems defining the master / slave nodes, NMT, SDO, PDO, ... Does anyone know how to define this in a simple way in labview?
I have seen that people use the following library: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/202614, but is this library generic? Can I use it with IXXAT USB-to-CAN?
Is there any other way? Does anyone have an example?
 
Thank you very much for your help,

Iñaki

I believe the NI CAN Open library only works with NI series 2 (old) devices. I've had my eye on

this add-on but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Hi

 

This will not work

you will have to download VCI driver from the IXXAT homepage.

Maybe they have there a LabView Library for CanOpen.

Or you should do a call to them and ask for support

If not you have to do it in LabView by using the LabView CVI driver

 

Regards
