EtherNet/IP Adapter Developers Kit (EADK)

Version 4.0.0 Now Available (Aug. 2009)

Tested with ODVA Version A7 & Beta A8 Conformance Test Suite

Pyramid Solutions' NetStaX EADK includes a complete, feature rich and field proven EtherNet/IP Adapter Class software protocol stack in source code and components that can be used to rapidly develop EtherNet/IP Adapter functionality for embedded systems, PCs and higher level computer systems.

The EADK stack software 'C' source code and components provide a very manageable, logical and developer friendly Application Programming Interface (API) for using CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) via TCP/IP.

The EADK stack provides EtherNet/IP target / server capability for I/O (Class 1 implicit) messaging and (Class 3 connected) explicit messaging, along with UCMM (unconnected) explicit message client & server capability.

The EADK includes software protocol stack 'C' source code for cross platform portability, C++ function call API DLL, C# API and COM Interface for PC based applications, Adapter example application with source code that demonstrates use of the EADK Stack APIs, developer reference manuals, application notes with code samples and example Statement of Conformance (STC) & EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) files.

The EADK EtherNet/IP stack architecture allows for rapid integration across platforms, operating systems (or no OS) and TCP/IP stacks.

Pyramid Solutions' stacks have been successfully deployed in hundreds of products, including many small to complex embedded devices, PC based devices and mid Level Computer Systems.

Many products containing Pyramid stacks have successfully passed ODVA conformance and PlugFest Interoperability testing.

The EADK is primarily distributed under a royalty-free Site license.  The License purchase includes built-in product technical support & updates.

* The EtherNet/IP (pronounced ethernet ip or ethernetip) for Ethernet Industrial Protocol and CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) specifications are provided by the ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendors Association).

Need help with the requirements, design, development or testing of your EtherNet/IP device?  Perhaps all the above?

If you're on a tight schedule and find that a knowledgeable partner would be just what the doctor ordered, contact us today to discuss the complete range of EtherNet/IP services we provide to our customers, including training, consulting, supplemental staffing to full turnkey development.

Features / Benefits

  • The EADK stack supports:

    > UCMM (unconnected explicit) message client & server
    > Class 3 (connected explicit) message server
    > Class 1 (I/O implicit) connection server
    > Reading & Writing of single / multiple Rockwell Automation Tags
    > CIP Modbus Translation - Modbus/TCP Master Stack included (See
        the note below on CIP Modbus and ODVA Conformance)
     
  • All resources are initialized at startup; no dynamic memory or thread allocation for maximizing performance
  • Runs on a single thread, task or clock tick making the EADK stack extremely portable!
  • Core EADK Stack Source is 'C' code for cross platform portability
  • Generic utility implementation for platform, OS and TCP/IP stack independence using "Platform Files" to minimize porting.
  • Successfully implemented on VxWorks, Quadros, uCOS, Linux, AIX, UNIX, OpenVMS, Windows, Windows CE and many other target environments, including no OS (timer tick only).
  • Unlike FREEWARE stacks, the EADK is field proven, feature rich and supported by EtherNet/IP experts.
  • Sample Platform Files included for Netburner (Embedded Coldfire target running uCOS), Linux,  Windows XP/2000/NT, WINCE 4.2/5.0 
  • Other target platform files available

The complete EADK development kit package includes:

1) EADK EtherNet/IP Adapter Class Protocol Stack 'C' Source Code

     for cross platform development
2) C++ function call DLL, C# API & COM Interface for Windows,
     Visual Basic and .NET Applications

3) Sample Adapter Application with Source Code that
    demonstrates use of the EADK Adapter Stack APIs
4) EADK Documentation set, including Getting Started Guide,
     Reference Manuals and Application Notes (with code samples)

5) Example STC (Statement of Conformance) and EDS (Electronic
     Data Sheet) files
6) Product updates and technical support are included with the
     license purchase.  Support, Consulting and Development

     Services are provided by our highly experienced EtherNet/IP
     experts that routinely develop our Stacks & Tools and implement
     EtherNet/IP products.

Version 4.0.0 Updates

  • Support for ODVA Conformance Test A7 including .stc file for Conformance Test A7
  • Added QoS object.  This can be conditionally included with the EIP_QOS #define
  • Added DLR as application Object
  • Added support for sending / receiving Extended Status data. EtIPObjectResponse and EtIPErrorInfo structures updated to accomodate this functionality
  • Added support for extended status error information for invalid RPI values for a connection
  • Added notification NM_NETWORK_LED_CHANGE when network LED changes (GetNetworkStatus can also still be used to poll value)
  • Updated network LED behavior per latest EIP spec enhancement
  • Added platform hook for Address Conflict Detection (ACD), i.e. Duplicate IP address - platformIsDuplicateIPAddress()
  • Added ability to override functionality within native EtherNet/IP objects through API function RegisterRequestsForClientProcessing()
  • Updated Windows DLL so it runs in a dual processor environment
  • Added windatatypes.h to encapsulate EtherNet/IP library specific datatypes as defined by the Windows platform. All sample source has been updated to include it.
  • For platforms that support setting IP addresses on the fly, allow the EIP stack to update its IP address accordingly within the TCP/IP object.
  • Replace MAX_PACKET_SIZE with SMALL_BUFFER_SIZE in socketPostListen to give TCP/IP stacks more send buffer room.
  • Updated Get/SetMember service of Assembly object to return "Service not supported" for static instances that don't have members
  • RemoveAllAssemblyInstances() will now return an error if an assembly instance is in use by a class1 connection.
  • GetHostIPAddress(), GetClaimedHostIPAddress(), GetStringI updated to include pre-allocated buffer size
  • Revised ETAG_DATATYPE usage in ETAG structure (most platforms will define it as UINT32)
  • Update to resolve not responding to class3 messages with unrecognized connection ID
  • Updates to C# examples
  • Hostname now part of TCPIP_CONFIG_DATA, should be populated through platformGetTcpIpCfgData(). platformGetHostName() and platformGetHostByName() no longer needed
  • Updated CIP-Modbus so than Unit ID can be part of the path
  • Forced UCMM data size to be 504 bytes per EIP spec
  • SendBroadcastListIdentity() accept INADDR_NONE as a parameter to pick the first IP address claimed
  • .stc files for Conformance Test A7 added, dated 7/29/09
