We have one coming project in which we are going to use 24 nos. 1310 curtis controller on CANopen network. These controllers support CANopen protocol. I need to communicate these controllers to Visual basic application for data read and write.

would you help me in finding out suitable protocol/coding ?

 

is this in modbus?

I've made a application in Visual Basic which can control this in VB, I also made a graph module to design your own visualisation.

Reading the 1310.pdf manual at www.curtisinst.com/ it looks for me that this is a complete controller to control CANopen based drives. It is programmed using a proprietary language VCL. My question: whee should the VB application run on, what shout it do? Anyway, any CANopen Windows DLL should be useable with VB, like http://www.port.de/engl/canprod/sw_dll_data.html
