Issue Details

I am using a PXI or PXIe controller with NI LinuxRT and a PXI-8531 CANOpen Interface Module. I am using LabVIEW 2020 and am unable to install the NI-Industrial Communications for CANOpen driver on my PXI system through NI MAX.

How can I use this module?

Solution

NI-Industrial Communications for CANOpen 21.5 adds support for PXI and PXIe controllers with NI Linux Real-Time installed for LabVIEW 2021 (32-bit). 
NI-Industrial Communications for CANOpen 2022 Q4 extends support to this for LabVIEW 2020.

If you wish to use LabVIEW 2020 with a LinuxRT PXI Controller using a PXI-8531, install CANOpen 2022 Q4.
