Need USB to CANopen adapter recommendation for AMC digiflex servo amplifier

[kreutz]

Hello;

I am looking for a cheap USB CANopen adapter compatible with an Advanced Motion Controls' Digiflex Digital servo amplifier. The manufacturer (AMC) recommended adapters are around $350.00

Your help will be sincerely appreciated.

Update:
I ended up buying the recommended Kvaser Leaf Light V2 USB to CAN adapter... there were no leads to a cheaper one.

Hello Kreutz,

Kvaser is indeed one of the good option available.

I am also presently looking for some cheap CAN Bus analyzer with DBC file support(not exactly CANOpen) . I found few Chinese variants but not sure if that will serve your needs, as the main problem will be with the PC software that is provided with them. Kvaser supports many good software like Vector/NeoSpy.

Anyway here is the link to what I found for CANOpen:

If some time and budget is left - you can try this one to reduce the cost in future. As most of the time we don't need to use all the features of high end devices. But visa verse - high end tools are reliable and capable of debugging minute problems.

Regards,
electrojit

My work uses this one:

But it's not cheap. However it does work pretty well.
