Chapter 1 NI-DNET Software Overview Figure 1-1. NI-DNET Cards Listed in MAX Note Each card’s name uses the word CAN, because the Controller Area Network is the communication protocol upon which DeviceNet is built. If your NI DeviceNet hardware is not listed here, MAX is not configured to search for new devices on startup. To search for the new hardware, press . To verify installation of your DeviceNet hardware, right-click the DeviceNet card, then select Self-test. If the self-test pass

Chapter 1 NI-DNET Software Overview Configure DeviceNet Port The physical port of each DeviceNet card is listed under the card’s name. To configure software properties, right-click the port and select Properties. In the Properties dialog, you assign an interface name to the port, such as DNET0 or DNET1. The interface name identifies the physical port within NI-DNET APIs. Change Protocol To change the default protocol for the DeviceNet (CAN) card, right-click the card and select Protocol. In

Chapter 1 NI-DNET Software Overview NI-Spy This tool monitors function calls to the NI-DNET APIs. This tool helps in debugging programming problems in your application. To launch this tool, open the Software branch of the MAX Configuration tree, right-click NI Spy, and select Launch NI Spy. SimpleWho To provide valid parameters for the NI-DNET open functions (ncOpenDnetIntf, ncOpenDnetExplMsg, and ncDnetOpenIO), you need to determine some basic information about your DeviceNet devices.

Chapter 1 NI-DNET Software Overview Much like any other object-oriented system, NI-DNET device driver objects use the concepts of class, instance, attribute, and service to describe their features. The NI-DNET device driver software provides three classes of objects: Interface Objects, Explicit Messaging Objects, and I/O Objects. You can open an instance of an NI-DNET object using one of the three open functions (ncOpenDnetExplMsg, ncOpenDnetIntf, or ncOpenDnetIO). The services for an NI-D

Chapter 1 NI-DNET Software Overview NI-DNET (default), or CAN for NI-CAN. When the CAN protocol is selected, you can access CAN tools in MAX, such as the Bus Monitor tool that displays CAN messages in their raw form. In order to develop NI-CAN applications, you must install NI-CAN components such as documentation and examples. The NI-CAN software components are available within the NI-DNET installer. Launch the setup.exe program for the NI-DNET installer in the same manner as your original

2 NI-DNET Hardware Overview Types of Hardware The National Instruments DeviceNet hardware includes the PCI-CAN, PXI-8461, and PCMCIA-CAN. The PCI-CAN is software configurable and compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification. It features the National Instruments MITE bus interface chip that connects the card to the PCI I/O bus. With a PCI-CAN, you can make your PC-compatible computer with PCI Local Bus slots communicate with and control DeviceNet devices. The PXI-8461 is software configura

3 Developing Your Application This chapter explains how to develop an application using the NI-DNET functions. Accessing NI-DNET from your Programming Environment Applications can access the NI-DNET driver software by using either ™ ™ LabVIEW, LabWindows /CVI , Microsoft Visual C/C++, Borland C/C++, or Visual Basic. If you are using any other development environment, you must access the DNET library directly. Each of these language interface techniques is summarized below. LabVIEW For appl
