"EtherIP" driver/device support module for EPICS.

Interfaces Allen Bradley PLCs (see www.ab.com) via Ethernet to EPICS IOCs

• ControlLogix 5000, both original versions with separate controller and ENET module, and L8x series that includes a network port in the controller.
• Compact Logix devices

For EPICS R3.14.8 and higher, on Linux and several other operating systems supported by EPICS libCom. For earlier version of EPICS base, including R3.13, see tags/releases older than ether_ip-3-0. VxWorks 5.5 must also use an older version because its compiler requires K&R style declarations of all variables at the start of a code block.
