I'm interested in adding the smarts to my industrial microcontroller that can talk to off-the-shelf software. I've seen some open source-projects (EIPStackGroup / OpENer ), but I'm not exactly sure of what is required. Would I need to first have a TCP/IP stack.. then the application-layer specifics would be handled by the specific protocol I choose, like Rockewell CIP -> DeviceNet/ControlNet -> Ethernet/IndustrialProtocol ? What software (Windows/Linux) can be used to test or communicate with my device?
