NI 9188 and CompactRIO chassis

[Sam_Rudneff]

Hi!

Currently i need a cRIO system that can interface with DELTA ASD-A2 servo drive controller. So, i need a CANopen interface onboard my cRIO. While searchig NI hardware i've found a NI-9881 CANopen module. But in the requirements tab i see "module requires the NI cRIO-911x/906x/908x chassis". And i have a 9073, 9074 and 9075 chassis. Why not use the integrated chassis and controller for NI 9188 (i guess, there is some serious reason for that)? Or maybe NI-9188 module will work with new integrated controller/chassis (9075/9076/9074)?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Slava_R,

I can't speak definitively to why the NI-9881 in the cRIO-907x chassis, it likely has something to do with the capabilities of the FPGAs on those chassis. I can, however, confirm that you do indeed need one of the supported chassis (911x/906x/908x) in order to be able to use the module.

I've linked a document below that discusses other CANopen options in case you're interested in alternative solutions.

What CANopen Software is Available and What Hardware is Compatible with National Instruments Products?
