PROFINET IO Device Protocol Software

Product description:

PROFINET IO Device Protocol Software

Softing?s portable protocol stacks for PROFINET IO, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus/TCP enhance any field device with an existing Ethernet interface with Real-Time (RT) Ethernet capabilities. The extremely flexible porting layer guarantees a rapid integration of Softing?s high-performance solutions into any target device. The well-documented porting layer is developed in ANSI-C to ensure compatibility with any target hardware.

The flexible, yet high performance capabilities of the porting layer have been demonstrated with VxWorks, Linux, Windows, eCons, uC/OSII, and netOS. A simple checklist serves as an easy tool to quickly estimate the implementation effort. The Simple-Device-Application-Interface (SDAI) is an extremely efficient protocol abstraction layer that is designed to offer a single application interface for all RT Ethernet protocols, helping to significantly speed-up device integration and time-to-market, while simplifying support and maintenance.
