Are you in possession of the Hilscher CANopen Configuration Tool file?

When attempting to select the .co file I generated using Sycon, I receive this message.

It sounds like the database file you're trying to load might have gotten corrupted or perhaps isn't compatible with your current version of Unity. One of the things you could try is to make sure that the database file isn't open in another software. Also, do a check to ensure you've the necessary permissions to access the file. If these don't work, you might need to either restore a backed up version of your database or seek assistance from Unity customer service for a more comprehensive diagnosis and possible resolution.

From what you've described, it seems like there might be a compatibility issue with the DBM file you're trying to load, or that the file is somehow not correctly formatted or corrupted. I suggest trying to open it with another tool to check if it's not corrupted. If the file is fine, you might also want to check whether you're using the proper version of CanOpen that corresponds with your version of Unity. If you're still encountering the problem, it might be worthwhile to contact customer support or seek out an expert consultation.
