CODESYS EtherNet/IP Scanner SL

A specific EtherNet/IP configurator is already integrated in the standard setup of the CODESYS Development System. To use, the user needs a license that is either already deposited in the target system or can be booked afterwards 2. In addition, a protocol stack is required, which realizes the EtherNet/IP communication on the configured Ethernet port. This stack is delivered together with the license in the form of a CODESYS library. Alternatively, Hilscher fieldbus cards can be used with an integrated protocol stack.

If CODESYS EtherNet/IP scanner is licensed on the device to be programmed, it can communicate with connected adapters in real time and read their inputs or read their inputs. Write outputs. All parameters for communication are specified in the configurator, e.g. B. IP addresses of the network card and the adapter, the connections (connections) and their properties, the RPI (Requested Packet Interval) and user parameters. Based on a service library, the user can access the remote adapters acyclically from the IEC 61131-3 application, e.g. to read or write attributes.

Device manufacturers can equip their products with CODESYS EtherNet/IP scanners and license them in advance. In the SoftPLC systems of 3S-Smart Software Solutions, e.g. B. CODESYS Control Win or CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi is already included in the license.

Users can extend individual, compatible devices with CODESYS EtherNet/IP Scanner SL. The license is stored on a special device dongle (CODESYS Key) or a software licensing container (soft key) on the desired device.
