The new version 5.2 of the CANopen Master API now also supports the CAN@net II/VCI PC interface from IXXAT. This enables the connection of test applications to the CANopen network via Ethernet, providing various possibilities in the area of remote diagnosis and maintenance.
Further enhancements are the support of 64 bit operating systems and improvements at the status monitoring of CANopen nodes. Using the CANopen Master API 5.2 in conjunction with the CAN@net II/VCI requires the installation of the new version 3.2 of the IXXAT VCI CAN driver.

Besides PCI and ISA, IXXAT now also supports the well-priced single channel USB-to-CAN compact and the dual channel USB-to-CAN II interface with a layer-2 Linux driver free of charge.
This enables the development and the usage of customer specific analysis, configuration and test applications on notebooks and other mobile systems. Due to the common driver interface, an adaptation of existing Linux applications to support the USB interfaces can be made very easily.
