Maxon EPOS2 driver for sbRIO

[kremlinme]

I am working on using LabVIEW to control a Maxon EPOS2 50/5 controller. I am using a sbRIO and the NI 9853 CAN module.

I have found the EPOS driver posted here. I have also found the CANopen engine posted here.

However, I'm looking for a VI based implementation of the Maxon EPOS2 driver. The existing EPOS2 DLL (wrapped in a LV API) can not communicate with my CAN device because it's connected to an LV-RT system through an LV-FPGA device. Therefore, I need a VI based implementation of the driver such that I can communicate through an LV-FPGA based CAN from an LV RT system.

Thanks for any help!

Viktor,

I've been looking into this and don't know of any VI based implementation of this driver.  It may be worthwhile to contact Maxon to see if they can provide any help with this.  The only other option would be to use compile the dll code into a shared library .out file that would be compatible with your sbRIO.
