The MVI69-EGD Ethernet Global Data (EGD) module can be used to interface
many different protocols with EGD devices. The EGD driver supports both the
producer/consumer service port (18246) and the command service port (7937)
using the UDP protocol over an IP network. The user defines the data to be
produced and consumed in a configuration file downloaded to the module.
GE Fanuc Automation and GE Drive Systems developed an Ethernet Global
Data, or EGD, exchange for PLC and computer data in 1998. Ethernet Global
Data (EGD) offers versatility where a mix of control devices requires
cooperation with each other. This involves sharing of information across the
applications regardless of device or network type, often at high speed, and with
high reliability.High reliability means fewer communication failures and having
the ability to detect failures upon occurrence. Particular emphasis is delivered
for applications requiring periodic or frequent updates and time synchronization
of devices.
The protocol supports Unicast, Broadcast and Multicast group messaging.
Efficiency is based on the fact that each device on the network can produce
these types of messages and each device determines which of these
messages to consume
