NI modules for listening CAT data link signals? (cRIO 9024 platform)

[felixleaman]

Hi everyone, I'm interested in listening to the CAT data link signals in a CAT 797B dump truck. I haven't found much information about this network on internet, I suppose that is similar to a CAN data link (in which NI 986x and NI 985x are compatible).

Hi, in fact it is possible to read signals coming from CAT using CAN modules, however you will be able to read it just as raw data (CAT data link uses CAN for communication and it adds one layer). So you would have to make byte interpretation, so knowledge of the protocol would be required. 

Regards!
