How it Works
Version 5.5.0 – Released January 31, 2025 – Tested with ODVA CT21
Our ESDK provides I/O server, I/O client, message server, and message client functionality along with an Application Programming Interface (API) for using Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) over standard Ethernet. It interfaces with your product’s application software and socket level TCP/IP interface.
The ESDK stack 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 ESDK Scanner Stack connection configuration can be performed locally via the stack API or via the network using the included Connection Configuration Object (CCO). This allows external tools to configure the scanner remotely.
The ESDK Stack has been successfully implemented across many platforms with an OS or no OS.
It comes with 12 months of download access to the latest version and built in phone/email tech support.
Additional Service options are available to assist you with EtherNet/IP requirements, design, ESDK Stack integration, pre-conformance testing, and more.
Pyramid’s ESDK is distributed under a royalty free software license agreement.
