I see this question has been asked before (thread), but there's no answer, so here we go. I need to implement DeviceNet on a USB interface. This KB article says you can implement DeviceNet using the NI-CAN Frame API on a Series 2 NI-CAN device. I did contact NI support to see if they any examples, but no luck there. I've done a lot of work using the NI-CAN Frame API, but have never done anything with NI-DNET. Looking at the VIs in the NI-CAN Frame API and the NI-DNET API, they appear to be similar, but not a directly interchangeable. So has anybody done this and can offer some tips on how to get started? Like how do you use "ncConfigCANNet.vi" and "ncOpen.vi" to configure everything? Alternately, can any one recommend a USB DeviceNet module from another manufacturer that plays nice with LabVIEW? Thanks Ed

use Fram API function for USB-8473, work very well. But LabVIEW2015 no CAN icom, LabVIEW2013 has it with NI-CAN15.
