Pyramid Solutions - NETSTAX™ EIPScan

EtherNet/IP Scanner Simulator Tool

NetStaX EtherNet/IP Scanner Simulator inspects and debugs end-of-line and field testing for any EtherNet/IP-enabled devices to accelerate development while ensuring reliable device performance.

How it Works

Version 2.4.3 – Released February 15, 2024

Pyramid’s NetStaX™ EtherNet/IP Scanner Simulator (EIPScan) is an extremely useful tool for testing and debugging EtherNet/IP™ products, performing end-of-line testing, field testing and demonstrating your EtherNet/IP products to end customers. EIPScan also provides Adapter simulation capabilities by allowing Assembly instances to be registered in the tool that can be connected to by other scanners.

EIPScan is a user-friendly PC/Windows™ application that allows you to test EtherNet/IP messaging and connections on a standard PC or Laptop. No additional software or hardware is required.

New features and updates for Version 2.4.X

  • New security software is now integrated that prevents the EIPScan unlock key from being invalidated by Windows Updates or hardware changes on the licensed PC or Laptop.
  • Built on Pyramid’s EtherNet/IP Scanner Stack
  • Improved stack and UI performance
  • A new EIPScan-SECURE option is available that enables CIP Security connections. The base EIPScan operates as before with standard connections and messaging and once the EIPScan-SECURE option is enabled, additional user interface options are enabled to allow secure connections.
  • Added support for Identity object v2. Catalog Number and Manufacture Date is now displayed with the device Identity information.
  • Class 3 Maximum request size is now configurable, allowing the use of Large Forward Open and request sizes up to 1516 bytes.
  • Originated Class 1 output (O->T) data buffer can now be edited when the connection is inactive (timed out or closed).
  • Other EIPScan updates based on user feedback (see the release notes provided with EIPScan).
