CANopen communication with LUST drive

[Bram_Plugge]

Hello fellow wirers,

I'm trying to communicate with a motor/controller combination manufactured by LUST using the CANopen protocol. Is there anyone out there who has any experience with this kind of communication with this protocol? Currently we have the NI-USB8472 one port-low speed CAN interface.

Any suggestions are VERY welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

You said you work on motor/controller , I am not sure on what type of hardware.

I am working on Motor controller drive which has CANopen protocol . I am using Ni-CAN as well as USB to CAN code loader.I use labview and CANopen library for communicating with the drive to do some automation .

Basically you have to know the baudrate and the CANport as well as node-id of the device.

Hope this might give some idea.

Hi,

Here is a short example for PDO communication with NI-CAN plan api code. That should work with NI USB CAN.
