LabVIEW example for CAN bus Ethernet interface

[sydmil]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could help me get started with a LabVIEW example to program simple read and write vi to communicate with a CAN bus via an ethernet converter. I have a CAN bus to Ethernet converter connected to my computer. At this stage I am not even sure if to use VISA. I created a TCP/IP VISA resource and I can connect to my converter via the VISA Test Panel. But, I would like to utilize some of the already existing LabVIEW CAN software - if that's even possible.

Any tips or suggestions on how to proceed, or even better any code examples would be greatly appreciated !

Thank you!

I believe the CAN bus examples all use NI-CAN hardware, so they will not work with your CAN to Ethernet adaptor.

In my only experience with CAN we tried to save some money and buy a CAN to Serial adaptor but that did not work so in the end we bought the NI-CAN adaptor and it was literally plug and play with the examples that came with it. So in this case it was really worth the extra money to save the time it would have taken me to learn CAN and write the program from scratch.
