Il driver IToolS Ethernet/IP e' utilizzato per interrogare i dispositivi Allen Bradley.  

Per impostare la comunicazione con un dispositivo Allen Bradley è necessario impostare la proprietà "Name" dell'ioserver a "ABEthernetIP" 

Le variabili sono lette e scritte per nome, è quindi necessario inserire nella proprietà "Address" della variable il nome della variabile che si vuole gestire. 

I tipi di dato gestiti sono: 

• SINT 1 byte (unsigned small integer) = Byte 
• USINT 1 byte (unsigned small integer) = UByte 
• UINT 2 byte (unsigned integer) = UInteger 
• INT 2 byte (integer) = Integer 
• REAL 4 byte (floating point value) = Real 
• UDINT 4 byte (unsigned double integer) = ULong 
• DINT 4 byte (double integer) = Long 
• LINT 8 byte (long integer) = DoubleLong 

La lettura dei tag viene effettuate per nome e non per indirizzamento e dimensione come per altri driver (ad esempio Modbus, Siemens, Omron, ecc...) quindi per qualsiasi tag può essere utilizzato il tipo "Variant". È auspicabile utilizzare tipi di dato non "Variant" nel caso in cui il valore letto dal dispositivo debba poi essere convertito, scalato o soggetto a qualche trasformazione. 

Il campo area non è utilizzato. 

Sono implementate le letture e scrittura multiple. 

La porta socket da utilizzare per la comunicazione è la: 44818
