Primary equipment

Is this OpENer supported as a primary station？

[linyong Deng]

I want to port to a Linux system as the main site

Sorry, I dont understand what you mean with primary station. Its an ENIP adapter device if that helps

[linyong Deng]

sorry, Sir. Doesn't this EIP require a master station to actively contact other slave stations for communication? What I want to express is to make a master site in this project and then port it to Linux. May I do that, please? Or am I wrong about the EIP?

[linyong Deng]

Could you give me some guidance

I'll try to make some things clear. In an EtherNet/IP setup there is typically a master station that talks to and controls multiple slave stations. I use this "old" language only to make the control relationship clear. In the EtherNet/IP community it is talked about the master to be the "EtherNet/IP scanner" device and the slave is the "EtherNet/IP adapter" device. That was Martin talking about that the OpENer is an "EtherNet/IP adapter" device protocol stack.

This differs in great length from an "EtherNet/IP scanner" device. This is I assume what you mean with "primary station". I don't know how far parts of the code of OpENer could be used to implement parts of a scanner device. But I think it is far from being usable as scanner protocol stack.

If you are interested in a "EtherNet/IP scanner" protocol stack you may buy some here:

Thank you for your questions, Sir. Is I did not express no clear primary station. I was interested in OpENer for personal learning. Other than Pyramid Solutions EtherNet/IP products, what else is recommended as a scanner? Preferably open source

Try EtherNet/IP explorer (https://sourceforge.net/projects/enipexplorer/)
