I have been looking at the CIP portion of the library posted. One thing it does not support is Network Path. What it does instead is try to read tags from the controller in Slot 0 on the backplane of the device at the IP address given to the init function. This is hard coded. To fix you need to add code to properly format a network path into the packet built in the EtherNet_IP CIP Scan Registers.vi. Specifically the network path is part of the CPF array in the diagram. Unfortunatly, I don't have the spec and so I don't know how to make all the changes. What I did figure out, I was able to work out from looking at Wireshark logs.

Hello, Is this project dead? While NI has some pre-release drivers for Ethernet/IP, they only work on Windows and RT platforms. No Linux. Since a Linux driver is what I need, I would naturally be interested to know if this project is still alive, and if it would run on Linux. Thanks!

I am looking to see if there is a way to access a MySQL server from a RT target. The short answer seems to be no. There is an article on the NI website describing a method where you send files to a Windows or Linux machine who then speak to whatever relational database you want. I would rather not do this. Another solution is running SQLite on the target itself. This does not really work for me either as there are many RT targets whose data needs to be pooled. The brute force solution appears to be to port the C based mysql client API to VxWorks and then call it with a CIN node. (Does this work in RT?) or to port the C library directly to LabVIEW. I am hopping that someone else has something less painful to offer.

Hello everyone, I find myself unemployed and some I am looking for new opportunities. I am a CLAD certified LabVIEW developer with a lot of experience in Machine Vision and to a lesser extent NI TestStand. The applications I have been involved with have been mostly test and measurement. This generally means I am integrating a wide range of equipment together to make a measurement. In my last position I was responsible for integrating stage motion with machine vision in such a way that allowed precise positioning of a wafer to within a micron.
