Functional Description

This VI´s shows, how to read the absolute Encoder Position from the BaumerIVO-Encoder (GBAMH) with the National Instruments CANopen Library.

Caveats and Additional Notes

What you need to get started:

At least

• LabVIEW 8.6
• CANopen Library
• CAN Series 2 Interface (for example: NI PXI/PCI 8461/2 Series 2)

for further Communication Possibilities here, to have a look at the Baumer Manuals for CANopen Devices:

http://www.baumerivo.com/pdf/handbuch/Manual_CANopen_EN.pdf

#1: Set the Baudrate of the CAN Device in MAX, same as set at the Encoder (DIP-Switches) (for example 125kBaud)

#2: Open the attached Project

#3: Choose SDO or PDO Example

          SDO: Easy example, done for a single value.

          PDO: More advanced, but possibilities for higher transfer.

#4: Set the appropriate Interface, Baudrate nad Node ID

#5: Run the Example
