Generation of CANopen Heartbeat

[miniMe]

Hello,

I'd like to know if it is possible to generate a CANopen Heartbeat, with a 1 second repetition rate, using a NI USB 8473 interface, Labview and usb_canopen_example.llb library.

If any examples are available please point them out, any other suggestions about how I can implement such an application are welcome.

Thank you

Hi miniMe,

What you are trying to do is possible using CANopen Heartbeat, have you taken a look in the example finder for the NI-CANopen project, it contains example VIs for how to set up this sort of thing. There is a heartbeat read and some SDO write examples.

Let me know if that helps,

Regards,
