Description
The National Instruments PXI-8531 PXI CANopen Interface Module, with part number 781061-01, is a robust 1-Port CANopen Interface designed to facilitate the development of applications utilizing the CANopen application layer atop the physical CAN layer. This module is particularly suited for a variety of applications, including motion control systems, industrial automation, medical equipment, cross-country vehicles, maritime devices, public transport, and construction automation.
It supports the transmission and reception of both Process Data Objects (PDOs) and Service Data Objects (SDOs), in compliance with the CiA-DS301 standard. Noteworthy features include an SDO batch editor with Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file integration and Layer Setting Services (LSS) support for configuring slave nodes within the network.
A high-level API is provided to seamlessly manage the CANopen network and connected devices, making system integration and device management more accessible. Compatibility is ensured with a 32-bit driver that can be used on Windows Vista/XP and LabVIEW Real-Time operating systems. Additionally, the module’s configuration tools are integrated within the LabVIEW project environment, simplifying the configuration of system parameters, as well as master and slave device parameters.
With automatic detection and mapping of CANopen device signals to transfer I/O variables, users can read and write from the I/O of devices without requiring an extensive understanding of the CANopen protocol. This feature greatly simplifies the interaction with the CANopen network, making the National Instruments PXI-8531 a user-friendly solution for a wide range of industrial and automation tasks.
