Version 3.7.0 Now Available (Nov. 2007)

Tested with ODVA Version A5 Conformance Test

EtherNet/IP Scanner DLL Kit (EIPS)

Pyramid Solutions' EIPS DLL provides EtherNet/IP Scanner Class functionality for applications developed for PC / Windows™ platforms.  The driver consists of a user-mode DLL,  sample scanner/client application source code (that demonstrates use of the EIPS DLL API & capabilities), sample STC & EDS files and reference manuals.

The EIPS DLL provides an Application Programming Interface (API) for using Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) via the TCP/IP (WinSock) interface. The EIPS library can be statically or dynamically linked with the target application. A COM (ActiveX) component is also provided for interfacing with VB applications.

The EIPS EtherNet/IP Scanner Class Protocol Stack DLL is capable of originating a variety of I/O connections based on the connection configuration set by the user. The EIPS Connection Configuration Manager provides the interface necessary for tools to configure connections across the network. Tools that support this method of configuration include Rockwell Software's RSNetWorx for EtherNet/IP and other tools that support the current Open Connection Configuration Object as defined in the current ODVA specification. 

The EIPS is distributed under a non-royalty Site License

* See our EIPA for an Adapter (Server) version of the DLL Kit.
