canopen interface create.vi

[Vay]

Hi

As a new NI-canopen user, I am trying to communicate to a device with canopen.

It produces an error after calling CANopen Interface Create.VI.

Is there any previous configuration that must be done before calling this VI (can tools??). 

If so, which one and how (example codes).

The monitoring in MAX seems to work since it recognizes the heartbeat on the remote device.

Thanks

Hi,

The "CANopen Interface Create.VI." initializes the CAN Port of your NI CAN board. If this function creates an error message, there is something wrong with the Port you tried to initialize.

perhaps the same port is used by another software? (MAX)

The error message should tell you what is wrong and perhaps you can post at least the error number?

And no, there is no previous configuration, that must be done, except perhaps to test the board in MAX.
