Ethernet/IP Device - Real-Time Simulation on Windows
|
|
With the SYBERA Ethernet/IP Device Stack for Windows, an entire industrial plant can be simulated directly on a PC in real-time.
The stack enables reading existing EDS files of real devices and their configuration for virtual simulation.
This way, the simulated devices behave like their real counterparts in the field.
In combination with the SYBERA X-Realtime Engine, a precise, deterministic simulation is created that accurately replicates the behavior of real plants.
The device simulation runs directly on standard PCs with standard Ethernet adapters from Intel or Realtek.
PCMCIA or ExpressCard adapters are also supported.
This eliminates the need for additional Ethernet/IP hardware.
The basis of the Programming Library is the Ethernet/IP Device Stack with integrated X-Realtime technology.
The software is fully executable under Windows and enables the simultaneous simulation of multiple Ethernet/IP devices in real-time.
Depending on PC performance and application, telegram update times down to 250 µs are achievable.

Ethernet/IP Device - Functionality
|
|
The integrated Station Management allows for nearly complete automatic administration of the simulated devices.
Every single Ethernet/IP Service can be specifically controlled, monitored, and analyzed.
To support development, the SYBERA tool EIPCONFIG is available.
This software allows for configuring, testing, and visualizing the simulated Ethernet/IP devices.
The developer is interactively guided through function groups and states, while all relevant parameters are clearly visualized.

Ethernet/IP Device - Technology
|
|
The stack realizes the sending and receiving of industrial-grade Ethernet protocols according to the Ethernet/IP specification in real-time.
Processing is done via a separate Real-Time Task that functionally processes telegrams and minimizes latencies.
The system is based on four real-time tasks: sending Ethernet frames, receiving frames, processing user data, and error handling.
A State Machine synchronizes all tasks and detects frame errors, timeouts, and hardware latencies.
It also checks whether received telegrams have been correctly answered and whether the index fields match.
An integrated Frame Filter separates the Ethernet/IP telegrams from the data stream and transmits them to the Telegram Stack.
Developers can implement the functional processing individually at the system or application level – for example, by extending to Real-Time Level 2.
