Client/Scanner Application - Question #28

Closed sergio-vedois closed 4 years ago

sergio-vedois commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I need to write an application (client/scanner) that establishes a communication with an ETHERNET/IP adapter/server using both explicit and implicit(I/O) messaging. The adapter will be coded in C/C++ using EIPStackGroup/OpENer library.

So, my questions are: Is This library meant for that ? Which is the max polling rate ?

I Thank in advance for the answers.

Sérgio

Hi Sergio,

1) Yes, this library is meant to enable an application to be an EtherNet/IP scanner. We've done quite a bit of testing using explicit messaging, not as much with implicit messaging. But you can find a basic example here where we tested implicit messaging connections with a Powerflex 525: https://github.com/nimbuscontrols/EIPScanner/blob/master/examples/ImplicitMessagingExample.cpp 2) Poll rate limitations are dependent more so upon both the scanner development and max adapter connections, but we poll some devices at 250ms using explicit messaging without problems

Thank you for the quick answer. I will start some tests.
