I'm trying to add Ethernet IP protocol as used in Allen-Bradley
PLC's
to my existing design. The Open DeviceNet Vendor Association has the
protocol specifications and sample C code on their web site, but the
code was written for the Microsoft Windows platform. I'm looking for
anyone who might have already ported some or all of the code to the
Dynamic C platform and have a library available. I will consider 3rd
party vendors as well as fellow users of Dynamic C willing to share
their work. Otherwise I'll have to port the code myself, and why
reinvent the wheel.

I don’t know what you’re budget is, but Real Time Automation has an 8-bit solution for the Rabbit. Be prepared to shell out about 10K though. Depending on what else the Rabbit will be doing, it will most likely be underpowered won’t be able to support much else than the Ethernet/IP protocol. You’d be better stepping into a 16-bit micro….
If you plan on being legit and joining the ODVA and getting conformance testing done, be prepared shell out a lot more cash.

Thanks for the information. I'll check out Real Time
Automation. 10K might be possible depending on what
they are offering. As for going to a 16 bit
processor, the demand will need to be greater than it
is now. I'm not creating a new design, but trying to
add the protocol to our existing design which already
includes Modbus over Ethernet and serial as well as
DF1.
We only have one customer requesting this protocol but
see others might be interested. If adding the
protocol will be too complex then we may just have to
tell the customer no, and try to talk them into using
DF1.
I don't intend to use the complete protocol, just the
bare minimum. Just the ability to provide discrete
and analog I/O. Programming or configuration will not
be supported.

I tried to do this and after some time down the development road I
found I would need a vendor ID to insert into the protocol. This is
when you need to join the ODVA or shell out several thousand for the ID
and conformance testing.
We eventually used a protocol converter called the Digi One IAP (from
Digi International) to convert from DF1 (230400bps) to Ethernet/IP for
around $500.

I'm already aware of the ID requirement and we will
join ODVA once we decide to commit to including the
protocol. BTW We're a OEM and not a end user or SI.
Should we not decide to proceed I'll keep the protocol
converter in mind and pass the information along to
the customer. The target device we manufacture also
sells for around $500. It's also about the size of
pack of cigarettes. The goal is not to satisfy one
customers requirement, but to add EIP to this existing
device that already supports the Ethernet version of
Modbus. --- dwarrpatt <dpatters@dpat...> wrote:
