How can i read a can bus devicenet protocol using Pcan usb?

Regards.

DeviceNet is a High Layer Protocol running on top of CAN.
DeviceNet on WIKI
So you could use al PEAK-CAN Interface with DeviceNet, if you have a Software for DeviceNet running on top. We had build a simple DeviceNet software Tool to scan a DeviceNet Network some years ago. If you are interrested i could send you the code and also the exe file. The software could show the acive Message Groups, scan all DeviceNet nodes on the Net and show manufacturing code (vendor id).

Hello,

I'd like to have the code. I'm trying to implement a devicenet slave under Linux.
Thanks a lot!

Dear,
the code is for the Windows Driver with the PCAN-Light Interface and done in Borland Builder - you could not use it when run on LINUX. Which CAN Hardware do you use?

Hi Uwe,

Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation.
I'm using a peak can usb. The CAN connection is working fine under linux, i just need the layers above for devicenet.
I also have a windows pc with can view for debugging so your application would be very helpful.

Dear,
i have attached the simple software. But it is not a DeviceNet Stack implemented!
It is only a simple tool that could show the different MSG-Groups, show the calculated Bus Load,
and send a broadcast to detect which DeviceNet nodes are on the Bus.
Please do NEVER use this tool in real working DeviceNet - we could not guarentee if maybe some of the nodes go in non operational mode.

Regards
Uwe

I'll just use it for troubleshooting (the peak can view way

Thanks for the support!
