The design of industrial Ethernet adapter based on Ethernet/IP

Aiming at application of industrial network, this paper adopted ARM9 microprocessor to construct the hardware system of an industrial Ethernet adapter, developed I/O interface driver under Windows CE.NET operating system and completed the application software of the industrial Ethernet adapter based on EADK software platform. In addition, with the help of EIPScan, EDITT, PCU-ETHIO Ethernet/IP scanner, etc, a complete test was given to the communication adapter. Test results demonstrate that the industrial Ethernet adapter has not only good performance in stability, real-time property of data transmission but also bright prospects in application.
