Getting started with Ethernet I/P (Industrial Protocol)

I want to control a motor via an interface box which uses Ethernet i/p. I've never used this protocol before.  Confusingly that is 'Industrial Protocol' not 'Internet Protocol'. 

 

  There is a toolkit for this dated 2022, but it says that there is nothing to install. Maybe it is included with 2024? 

 

 Could anyone please point me in the right direction? Either with the toolkit or sample code, in order to get me going? 

 

   Thanks,

 

       Ian

NI has a LabVIEW toolkit for this:

https://www.ni.com/en-us/shop/product/ni-industrial-communications-for-ethernet-ip.html

 

It is not free though.  Is that the one you tried to install?

 

If you don't have or won't buy a license for that, I've previously had good luck with EEIP.DLL, a .NET Framework DLL, in LabVIEW.

 

The site that maintained it was http://www.eeip-library.de/ but it appears to have not been renewed.  If you look a year back in the archive.org wayback machine you can still see the site.

 

There are still official-ish places to get it:
