Hello  Magesh003,

From the user manual of ASD-A2, I see that it uses the CANopen communication method.

You can use the NI-Industrial Communication for CANopen Library in LabVIEW. Here is the link to download.

You can see which hardware you can use and what do you need for your setup here.

I would suggest using NI-986x C series modules with NI CompactRIO device. This should meet the requirements of your projects.

Hope this will help you.

Best regards,

Hi Pater_Mater_Filius,

Thanks for your reply. In our case we are using the delta drive with MODBUS RS485 communication. On that case no other hardware required as concerned person said. RS485 can be directly connected to PC. I havent done RS485 communication in LabVIEW before. Is there any reference available for that.

Thanks in advance

You can use the LabVIEW Modbus Library and the API in this case.

Introduction to Modbus using LabVIEW - NI

Modbus Communication Using LabVIEW or LabVIEW Real-Time Module - NI

from RS485 to Modbus wiring is explained here.

I think this video from YouTube may be helpful too.

Best,

It can also help to search the forums (although often the Google search is much more efficient than the search tool on this platform, searching is an art that many still haven't mastered).
