Initialising PCAN to USB Adapter

[Nico Landeck]

Hello to all,
 
I am using the Peak Systems PCAN- USB adapter to interface with our CAN network (see <a href="http://www.phytec.com/products/can/pc-can-interfaces/peakusb.html" target="_blank"> http://www.phytec.com/products/can/pc-can-interfaces/peakusb.html</a>&nbsp;for Peak info) and need to set up the transmission of CAN messages to a HBM&nbsp;T12 digital torque transductor.&nbsp; I am using vi's from KDI (see <a href="http://www.phytec.com/products/can/can-software-development-tools/pcanaddon.html" target="_blank"> http://www.phytec.com/products/can/can-software-development-tools/pcanaddon.html</a>) that allows to use the Peak adapters from labview.
&nbsp;
I think my problem is the understanding how this VI´s work and in wich order I have to use this VI´s.
&nbsp;
Has anybody experience with this VI´s?
&nbsp;
It would be very nice when i get an answer....
&nbsp;
With kind regards,
&nbsp;

Hi John,
sorry for my late Reply. The reason is, that I finished my thesis in August.
I haven´t solved the problem with the T12 communication over Can-Bus. I used the analoge torque value from the T12.
I used the LabView 8.2 Software.
My big Problem was, that I had two Peak-USB Dongles. One for communication with MoviDriveB from SEW-EURODRIVE and one for communication with the T12. For my application&nbsp;I had to use the canapi2.dll. Because the light Version with the pcan_usb.dll is only for one dongle. I solved a single CAN communication with the pcan_usb.dll to the T12. An example is attached.
It would be very nice when you give me an answer, how you solved the problem.
Kind regards,
Nico
