Converts PXI chassis into a CANopen master, which can then connect to and communicate with a third-party CANopen network.

The PXI CANopen Interface Module is a high-speed CANopen interface for developing applications with the NI-Industrial Communications for CANopen driver. CANopen is the application layer that sits on top of the CAN physical layer often used for industrial automation applications. The PXI CANopen Interface Module can transmit/receive PDOs and SDOs according to CiA DS301. It also features a batch SDO editor with electronic data sheet (EDS) file integration and layer setting services (LSS) support for slave node configuration.
