GE EGD

Product Overview

The GE Intelligent Platforms EGD device driver provides data exchange between OPC clients and GE PLCs using Ethernet Global Data Unicast and Multicast packets. This driver supports both Producer and Consumer connections and can act as a standalone EGD device. Using this capability, any PC can become an EGD device and share data using either Unicast or Multicast UDP packets.
