There are drivers for CANOpen in cRIO?

[Luis P]

We want use a cRIO with a CAN-module. There are drivers by the CAN bus, but we want to use CANOpen in the controler cRIO. Someone know if there are drivers?

Thank you very much

Hi Luis P,

There is no direct CANopen support right now.

But it should be possible to program one or two COB IDs directly in cRIO.It depends on what your requirements. If you need a MASTER Application, which needs to communicate to a Network , perhaps you need to work with LabVIEW RT, because there is not enough space on the FPGA. If you need to have a SLAVE Application, it should be possible to do it in FPGA directly.

Hi all!!!!!

NI has CANOpen Library now!!!!!!

So just contact with your NI Sales Representative to obtain it!

Jaime,

Unfortunately the new CANopen Library for LabVIEW doesn't work with cRIO, because it is designed for PCI and PXI boards and our NI CAN driver.

cRIO is somewhat special because there is a special driver running for the c-Series 9853 module.

All,

I know this is a little late but you can check this link out:

Hope this helps,
