Is the communication possible between CanOpen devices and NI-CAN PCI/2 Card? if yes, is possible to get some basic VIs?

[Etienne 209]

Dear NI people,

I am trying to configure an CanOpen application for structural control in civil engineering .
I have a Can Interface Card (PCI/2) from NI installed in my PC and several CanOpen devices. I would like to build a feedback loop on Labview with the PC as a master. But it doesn't work.
Is it possible to get a driver which allows the communication? If not, is there an alternative?
Best regards,

I'm sure that it is possible to implement CanOpen in LabVIEW. However, we don't have any LabVIEW VI's that use it yet.

Hello Etienne,

the company cd-systems offers complete CANopen VI's, look at the following link.
