RSLinx 2.4 includes a new driver called EtherNet/IP. This is a third
driver that deals with Ethernet. I can't find any documentation on this driver. No, I am not talking about documentation for EtherNet/IP
protocol available from ODVA Web site, I have that.
I would like to know what this driver is capable of and how exactly is it going to be applied. I have contacted Rockwell Software and
got nowhere. I can't find any link on Rockwell Web site that deals with this issue. Help screens on RSLinx tell you nothing.
Ofcourse the driver implements EtherNet/IP protocol to some extent.
But how much of it? All of it? Some of it? Does it deal with
Explicit and implicit messaging to the full extent?
Does it support legacy encapsulation commands and Item_Id's?
Is there an example of at least one AB or third party product that currently uses this driver?
I have tried it with an ENI module and it would not work!
This implies that this driver can't do CSP legacy commands??
Would anybody have any info on this subject?
Thanks
