Terminal CAN Error

[tprohas]

I have an embedded LVRT application running a Series 1 CAN card with v2.2 of the driver with a custom-patched set of firmware.  An external tool is sending out a high rate 500Kbps message at a rate of 0.0002 seconds.  The CAN card returns an error code (dumped to a terminal) with the following meaning:

<nierror code="-1074388990">
NI-CAN:  (Hex 0xBFF62002) An internal error occurred in the NI-CAN driver.  A description is located in the file NicanErr.txt in your Windows folder.  Solutions:  Email or fax the NicanErr.txt file to National Instruments for technical support.

I've tried to start and stop the network interface, but that doesn't work.  Any ideas?

Hi Tom

What does the 'custom-patched set of firmware' different from the original NI-CAN 2.2 firmware and where did you get that from? The firmware and the driver version need to match, e.g. if you try to use the NI-CAN 2.3 firmware with the NI-CAN 2.2 driver software you will get the 0xBFF62002 error (internal error).
If you got that patch from NI, try installing the recently released version 2.3 of the NI-CAN driver instead. All known bugs (e.g. the one that caused that patch) should have been incorporated into that driver.

We also have the problem that we get the Error -1074388990 (Hex 0xBFF62002). We use a PXI-System and a DeviceNet Card (PXI-8461), LabVIEW 8.5, NI-DNET 1.6.1 and NI-CAN 2.5.2.

The problem occurs in the first VI trying to establish a connection to the CAN Device. We tried all the recommended things like installing the newest NI-CAN version (both on the Windows computer and the PXI-System) or changing the slot of the PXI-Card.

Has anybody a solution?
Thanks for help, dave

dliechti,

I assume you are referring to this Knowledge Base article on the error message. If you have tried all the suggestions in the knowledge base, I would follow the last step that suggest retrieving "NicanErr.txt" from ..\NI-CAN\bin folder and contacting National Instruments support.

Cheers,
