Hi
I am developing a new application and it requires interfacing NI PXI / cRIO with Maxon EPOS2 and found that there are generally two options:
1) Using the EPOS2 CANopen driver with CAN module such as (NI PXI-8461/ NI-9853 for cRIO)
2) Using EPOS Instrument Driver with serial interface
For option 1 it seems that it is developed using the older software NI-CAN
And for new application on PXI, NI recommends to use NI PXI-8512 which uses newer software NI-XNET
Thus may I ask if there are any examples avaliable that uses NI-XNET to interface with Maxon EPOS2?

You've probably already seen this KB on NI support for CANOpen.
If you use the NI-CAN compatibility layer, XNET devices should be able to to use the NI-CAN code that the CANOpen implementation is built on.
