Sercos Internet Protocol Services Files


This is a platform for the S/IP application communicates between sercos III devices.

Overview
All the S/IP services like 
  •	TCP Basic Services ( Connect, Ping, Busy, Nameplate)
  •	UDP Basic Services (Nameplate, SupportedUdpServices)
  •	Device Management Services ( Reset)
  •	Explore & IP Configuration Services ( Browse, SetIpConfiguration, Identify)
  •	SERCOS Parameter access Services ( ReadEverything, ReadOnlyData, ReadDescription, ReadDataStatus, ReadSegment, WriteData, WriteDataBits)
  are implemented as JOBS.

Each job has 
  •	Begin()  method which takes required inputs and starts the job.
  •	End() method to get the results.

A connection (object that implements the interface IConnection)  is required to execute (Begin) the job. Jobs are independent of the type of connection used to execute the job
Both TCPConnection and  UDPConnection implements the interface IConnection. Hence every job can be executed using any connection type.


All the Jobs are implemented under the namespace SercosIII.SiP.Client.Jobs and
All the Connections are implemented under the  namespace SercosIII.SiP.Client

Refer SIP.chm (Available under ..\Help\ folder) to know more on using Jobs and Connection.

Features
  For detailed information on the features present in SiP, refer SIP.chm (Available under ..\Help\ folder).

Components
  Source code archive has following folder structure.
  •	Client
  This is an example of client application (Test Client) which uses SiP implementation to communicate with the Sercos III devices. It demonstrates usage of all the jobs using both TCP and UDP connections.
  •	Doc
  This has license and copyright related documents.
  •	Help
  This contains API documentation for SiP implementation.
  •	Server
  This is an example of server (Test Server) that implements Sercos III IPS protocol.
  •	SiP
  This is the implementation of SiP protocol API. It also contains utility functions which are used in SiP client and SiP Server.
  •	Tools
  This contains supporting packages which are used SiP, Client and Server. This includes 
    o	NUnit framework
    o	Log4Net framework

Requirements 
  Following software packages are required to work with this source.
