Is there any Controller Area Network or CAN-bus driver for Ignition? ---

There’s no native support for this, but if you have a 3rd-party OPC server that does support it Ignition can connect to that. ---

Is there still no CANbus Driver ? ---

No, and it’s not something that is on our schedule right now either. ---

I have a network of Danfoss Plus1 controllers. They communicate only CAN. So they natively speak CANopen and J1939. Can Ignition communicate with them? It appears to be a couple years since anyone has asked. ---

No, sorry, no thing has changed. You’d need to find a 3rd party OPC server that supports it and then connect Ignition to that. ---

If there’s a real need in this, I might be able to make this happen. ---

4 years late I know, but Moxa makes protocol converters from the two you mentioned to Modbus TCP, which Ignition can then poll.
