SYNC 100: Ethernet/IP Protocol Stack


Kalkitech's Ethernet/IP source code library has been specially created keeping in mind the increasing relevance of the industrial automation and process control protocols in the fields of manufacturing automation, including control, safety, synchronization, motion, configuration and information. Being written in ANSI-C, the stack can be easily built onto most platform as-is without minimal changes, thus making Ethernet/IP a convenient protocol to interface between the various industrial domains. Ethernet/IP uses the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) for the upper layers. The Ethernet/IP SCL provides an implementation of both CIP and the encapsulation of CIP packets over TCP/IP, thus, making it possible to be used in many other protocols like DEVICE NET, COMPO NET, CONTROL NET.

The Ethernet/IP SCL helps product developers to add Ethernet/IP adapter/scanner class functionality into the end product with ease. The stack provides input/output server and message server capability, and application programming interfaces. It also supports the cyclic, input / output messaging and explicit messaging. The Ethernet/IP source code library provided by Kalkitech has a platform independent design which helps programmer to compile and execute program virtually on any machine with each. The Product come with underline sample code for Windows and Linux for easy understanding.
