How it Works

Version 5.5.0 – Released January 31, 2025 – Tested with ODVA CT21

Our EADK stack provides complete Adapter Class functionality for EtherNet/IP connections and messaging.

It provides a logical and manageable API for interfacing to your application code and utilizes the sockets interface of your products TCP/IP stack for TCP and UDP messaging.

The EADK comes with 12 months of download access to the latest version and built in phone/email tech support.

Additional Services options are available to assist you with EtherNet/IP requirements, design, EADK Stack integration, pre-conformance testing, and more.

Pyramids EADK is distributed under a royalty free software license agreement.

Platform, OS, and TCP/IP stack compatibility and portability

“Platform file” approach separates routines into a single set f platform files to simplify porting
Sample platform files provided
Stack core source is ‘C’ code for portability
Included 32/64 bit DLLs are compatible with Windows 7, 8.x, 10, and 11 for developing Windows and .NET applications
The EADK source code is designed using an object-oriented approach. It’s building blocks, such as TC/IP sessions, CIP connections, explicit requests and all implemented CIP objects, including assemblies, are grouped into separate modules with corresponding functionality. This allows for easy understanding and debugging of the source code

Resource utilization and management

All resources initialized at stack startup
No dynamic memory or thread allocation
Runs on a single thread
Scalable for optimizing resou
