Description
781673-01 | NI 9881, 1-port C-Series CANopen module
The NI ‑ 9881 is a high ‑ speed CANopen interface for developing CANopen applications in LabVIEW on the CompactRIO hardware. CANopen is a data transmission protocol based on the bit transmission layer of CAN, which is often used for industrial automation applications. CANopen was originally developed for networks for machine control with a focus on engine control, e.g. However, it is used today in a wide variety of applications, including medical devices, off-road vehicles, marine electronics, local public transport, and building automation. The NI ‑ 9881 can send and receive PDOs (Process Data Objects) and SDOs (Service Data Objects) according to CiA ‑ DS 301. The NI ‑ 9881 module is only compatible with CompactRIO systems.
