I am new to robotics but am trying to get a YRC 1000 to operate a gripper that uses CANOPEN. I went back to Moto man and they are trying to see if this will work. Has anybody done this and can add some color.

I didn't see any documents for it but there are some converter for Ethernet IP and CANOPEN.
The Yaskawa support Ethernet IP (of course it need to active by Yaskawa on your controller if it isn't active) and you can use a converter device for it.
Maybe it can help you.

Rando,
Here is a link to an older controller using CanOpen.
Motoman CanOpen ExampleGreetings all! Motoman is a Yaskawa-based robot company that offers CanOpen as one of their protocols. The documentation for their card is good for the wiring…forum.unitronics.comI don't see a CanOpen board available from Europe for that controller. I would try TSGIR's advice as he is more familiar with the European product line, if Yaskawa America can't get you information.
Here is a link to a converter from DigiKey that is made by the company that made the CanOpen card.
