Challenges of Traditional EtherNet/IP Development
Creating a custom EtherNet/IP stack requires deep protocol knowledge and can lead to lengthy development times. Developers often spend weeks crafting the stack, which can result in errors if done poorly. Testing can be equally demanding. Setting up network environments and simulating real-world conditions without proper tools becomes a manual, error-prone process.
Implementing security features like CIP Security can also be a hurdle. Ensuring compliance with industry standards often involves complex coding and extensive testing, which can slow down the development cycle.
