OpENer Version 2.1.0

Welcome to OpENer!

OpENer is an EtherNet/IP™ stack for I/O adapter devices; supports multiple I/O and explicit connections; includes objects and services to make EtherNet/IP™- compliant products defined in THE ETHERNET/IP SPECIFICATION and published by ODVA (http://www.odva.org).

Participate!

Users and developers of OpENer can join the respective Google Groups in order to exchange experience, discuss the usage of OpENer, and to suggest new features and CIP objects, which would be useful for the community.

Requirements:

OpENer has been developed to be highly portable. The default version targets PCs with a POSIX operating system and a BSD-socket network interface. To test this version we recommend a Linux PC or Windows with Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com) installed. You will need to have the following installed:

• CMake
• gcc
• make
• binutils

for normal building. These should be installed on most Linux installations and are part of the development packages of Cygwin.

If you want to run the unit tests you will also have to download CppUTest via https://github.com/cpputest/cpputest

For configuring the project we recommend the use of a CMake GUI (e.g., the cmake-gui package on Linux, or the Installer for Windows available at CMake)

Compile for Linux/POSIX:

1. Make sure all the needed tools are available (CMake, make, gcc, binutils)
2. Change to the /bin/posix

3. For a standard configuration invoke setup_posix.sh

   1. Invoke the make command
   2. Grant OpENer the right to use raw sockets via sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep ./src/ports/POSIX/OpENer

   3. Invoking OpENer:

      ./src/ports/POSIX/OpENer <interface_name>

      e.g. ./src/ports/POSIX/OpENer eth1

OpENer also now has a real-time capable POSIX startup via the OpENer_RT option, which requires that the used kernel has the full preemptive RT patches applied and activated. If you want to use OpENer_RT, instead of step 2, the sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_ipc_lock,cap_sys_nice+ep ./src/ports/POSIX/OpENer has to be run to grant OpENEr CAP_SYS_NICE, CAP_IPC_LOCK, and the CAP_NET_RAW capabilities, needed for the RT mode

Compile for Windows XP/7/8 via Visual Studio:

1. Invoke setup_windows.bat or configure via CMake
2. Open Visual Studio solution OpENer.sln in bin/win32
3. Compile OpENer by chosing Build All in Visual Studio

4. For invoking OpENer type from the command line:

   1. Change to \bin\win32\src\ports\WIN32\
   2. Depending if you chose the Debug or Release configuration in Visual Studio, your executable will either show up in the subfolder Debug or Release

   3. Invoke OpENer via

      OpENer <interface_index>

      e.g. OpENer 3

In order to get the correct interface index enter the command route print in a command promt and search for the MAC address of your chosen network interface at the beginning of the output. The leftmost number is the corresponding interface index.

Compile for Windows XP/7/8 via Cygwin:

This should work like the procedure for Linux, with the exception, that RT mode will not work for Cygwin.

Compile for MinGW on Windows 10

1. Make sure 64 bit mingw is installed. (Test with gcc --version, should show x86_64-posix-seh-rev1)
2. Make sure CMake is installed. (Test with cmake --version, should be version 3.xx)
3. Change to /bin/mingw

4. Run the command setup_mingw.bat in a dos command line. (Not a bash shell). If tracing is desired, use the following (where the cmake parameter must be enclosed in quotes) or change the ./source/CMakeList.txt file.

   setup_mingw.bat "-DOpENer_TRACES:BOOL=TRUE"
   

5. Run the command "make" from the same directory (./bin/mingw)

6. The opener.exe is now found in \bin\mingw\src\ports\MINGW

7. Start it like this: "opener 192.168.250.22", where the ip address is the local computer's address on the nettwork you want to use.

• doc ... Doxygen generated documentation (has to be generated for the SVN version) and Coding rules
• data ... EDS file for the default application
• source
  • src ... the production source code
    • cip ... the CIP layer of the stack
    • cip_objects ... additional CIP objects
    • enet_encap ... the Ethernet encapsulation layer

Documentation:

The documentation of the functions of OpENer is part of the source code. The source packages contain the generated documentation in the directory doc/api_doc. If you use the GIT version you will need the program Doxygen for generating the HTML documentation. You can generate the documentation by invoking doxygen from the command line in the opener main directory.

Porting OpENer:

For porting OpENer to new platforms please see the porting section in the Doxygen documentation.

Contributing to OpENer:

The easiest way is to fork the repository, then create a feature/bugfix branch. After finishing your feature/bugfix create a pull request and explain your changes. Also, please update and/or add doxygen comments to the provided code sections. Please stick to the coding conventions, as defined in source/doc/coding_rules The easiest way to conform to the indenting convertion is to set uncrustify as git filter in the OpENer repository, which can be done with the following to commands:

git config filter.uncrustify.clean "/path/to/uncrustify/uncrustify -c uncrustify.cfg --mtime --no-backup"

git config filter.uncrustify.smudge "cat"
