Control.com - Nerds in Control

Hello...

I am working in a private concern-Automation background. We are developing Network Management software which should support Ethernet/IP and SNMP. We need to buy some EIP supporting devices. I have no idea. Can anyone suggest some devices along with the vendor name, please?

Greetings-

Consider the Opto 22 SNAP PAC System. Their I/O processors (or "brains"; part numbers SNAP-PAC-EB1 and EB2) and PACs (programmable automation controllers; part numbers SNAP-PAC-S1 and S2 and SNAP-PAC-R1 and R2) support both EtherNet/IP and SNMP. On the SNMP side, certification for CA's Unicenter and support for HP Openview NMS systems are included. In fact, Opto 22 has thousands of deployed systems operating in the field today that utilize the SNMP protocol for remote monitoring and control.

To speak with a systems engineer on the implementation of EIP and SNMP, call 951-695-3000 or email systemseng@opto22.com.

Good luck with your project.

Benson

Siva,

Many EIP Devices can be found by visiting http://www.odva.org. My company, Opto 22 (http://www.opto22.com) will also be able to help you in that regard. On another note, we may be interested in your Network Management software when it is ready. Please stay in touch. I can be reached at asinha at opto22. com, or 951-695-3079. Good luck.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. But, have a look at Comtrol (http://www.comtrol.com/). They come in at the low level and let you easily convert a "device" to be EtherNet/IP aware.

The EtherNet/IP documents are from ODVA/Rockwell and to the best of my knowledge you have to request them and get approved. You can't just fork over some cash, or sign a membership or press download.

For all the systems I've ever worked with with EtherNet/IP, they either come out of the box emblazoned with the logo OR they have something akin to Comtrol on top acting like a little clever Lego brick.
