Communication stacks
| EtherCAT Master Library (SOEM) | Commercial licensing of SOEM (Simple Open EtherCAT Master) - a EtherCAT master stack which is very easy to use and provides a small footprint. It is a good alternative to more complex stacks on the market and is especially well suited for embedded systems. |
|---|---|
| EtherCAT Slave Library (SOES) | Commercial licensing of SOES (Simple Open EtherCAT Slave) - an EtherCAT Slave Library, written in C, used to write custom EtherCAT Slave applications. |
| CANOpen stack | The rt-labs CANOpen stack can be used to implement a CANOpen master or slave. It supports multiple instances and can be run on bare-metal hardware, an RTOS such as rt-kernel, or on Linux or Windows. |
| IO-Link Master stack | IO-Link is a fieldbus independent point-to-point protocol. It is typically used for smart sensors and actuators in automation industry. |
| LIN master stack | The LIN master implements a LIN 2.1 master node. The LIN master provides an API to allow the application code |
| LIN slave stack | The LIN slave implements a LIN 2.1 slave node. The LIN slave provides an API to allow the application code |
| Modbus stack | Modbus is an automation protocol originally specified for serial networks such as RS-485 (Modbus RTU). It has since been adapted for Ethernet networks (Modbus TCP). |
| PROFINET Device stack | The rt-labs PROFINET stack is used for PROFINET device implementations. It is easy to use and provides a small footprint. It is a good alternative to more complex stacks on the market and is especially well suited for embedded systems. |
| EtherNet/IP Adapter device stack | EtherNet/IP provides standard Ethernet technology for industrial automation applications. It is one of the leading fieldbuses in the US. |
