Ethernet is no longer an option for Industrial Devices - ETHERNET IS A REQUIREMENT. Ethernet is the fastest growing segment of Industrial Networking for one reason - The Market (Your Customers) Loves Ethernet. And one of the most important Industrial Ethernet protocols is EtherNet/IP. EtherNet/IP is an industry de facto standard because of its openness, simplicity and minimum hardware required to support it. It combines a versatile, scaleable, and ubiquitous physical network (Ethernet) with a universal networking standard (TCP/IP) and a vendor-neutral data representation to create a truly open, accessible network for exchange of industrial data.

You can now add EtherNet/IP communications to your Linux-enabled product quickly and easily with the EtherNet/IP server development kit from Real Time Automation, Inc.. Developed specifically for 32-bit industrial platforms and fully integrated with the Linux TCP/IP stack, you can have EtherNet/IP communications in days not weeks, months or years. The development kit includes everything you need to implement your EtherNet/IP solution; "no royalty", single task source code, sample objects, a EtherNet/IP Client tool, a ready-to-run sample application, complete documentation and much more.
