EtherNet/IP Adapter Developers Kit - Server Protocol Stack Source Code Product

The EtherNet/IP Adapter Developers Kit (EADK) provides a complete EtherNet/IP Adapter Class software protocol stack necessary to implement an EtherNet/IP Adapter Class device over a socket-based TCP/IP interface. The EADK provides EtherNet/IP Target / Server capability for I/O and connected Explicit messaging, along with UCMM Message Client and Server capability. The EADK consists of software protocol stack source code modules, Adapter example code, developer reference manuals, application notes and code samples, sample STC file for conformance testing and a sample EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) file.

The EADK software source code provides an Application Programming Interface (API) for using Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) via TCP/IP, along with complete EtherNet/IP Adapter Class Stack ‘C’ source code.

The EADK EtherNet/IP stack architecture allows for rapid integration across platforms, operating systems (or no OS) and TCP/IP stacks and has successfully been deployed in many targets ranging from embedded devices, to PCs and Medium level computer systems.

Features

Full EtherNet/IP Adapter and Message Class (target/server) Implementation including UCMM (unconnected) explicit message client and server, Class 3 (connected) explicit message server and Class 1 (I/O) implicit connection server
All resources are initialized at startup; no dynamic memory or thread allocation
Runs on a single thread!
Core Stack Source is 'C' code for portability
Generic utility implementation for platform, OS and TCP/IP stack independence using "Platform Files" to minimize porting.
Build options and Sample Platform Files for Windows XP/2000/NT, WINCE 4.2/5.0, Linux, Netburner (Coldfire)
Other target platform files available (e.g. UNIX/AIX, CE 3.0, uCos...)
EADK Complete Package Includes: EADK EtherNet/IP Adapter Class Protocol Stack Source Code, Sample Adapter Class Application Source Code that demonstrates use of the EADK, COM Server Component for use of the EADK protocol stack with Visual Basic Applications, COM Server Reference Manual, Getting Started Guide, EADK Reference Manual and Application Notes.
