Hi,
My name is Michael Szabo. I'm a student currently working on a project that requires a PLC "brain." I have obtained a Vansco 1210 module and VMM software + product key and am trying to establish communication with it through a National Instrument usb-8473 adapter. I have gone through the Vansco's manual and connected everything accordingly. My module has power and has the CAN HI, LOW, and SHIELD connected to the usb-8473 CAN adapter. I have downloaded the driver software for the adapter and tried querying the module on the VMM software with no luck. I just get the following error: "RP1210 DLA Error #:142. The hardware device is not responding." I am not sure if this message is referring to my PLC as the device or the usb-8473. I am fine with coding but initial communication always seems to be a challenge for me. I am aware that normal protocol calls for a DLA device and driver however I am unable to obtain one. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Michael
