CAN & CANopen

[R_J]

Hi All

In one of the application i have to read the bus data and also the SDO message. So I am using CAN functions (Frame API) and CANopen functions in the same VI  .Problem is that for CAN frame API as well as CANopen functions i have to configure the CAN device (using both CAN Frame API & CANopen functions). So i am getting error.

Please tell me can we use CAN functions (Channel or Frame APIs) & CANopen Labview Library in the same VI. If yes then how ?

I had made one VI in which before entering the main loop i am configuring the CAN device using CAN frame API as well as  CANopen functions parallely. 

Please reply

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Because the CANopen Library is based on the Frame API from CAN, it configures the CAN Port internaly. Because it creates a handle which is not useable with the Frame API functions, there is no way to use both Frame API and CANopen API on the same port.
