Hello,
i have written a Parser for the Realtime Ethernet Protocol
EhterCAT devolped by
Beckhoff Automation GbmH as plugin in wireshark. I tested
the plugin with windows
and with the linux suse distribution.Information to EtheCAT can
be found on ethercat.org.
I would like this plugin to be part of the wireshark
installation and would like to know how I
should proceed now.
The ethertype for the Beckhoff realtime Ehternet protocols
is 88A4. The 88A4 header has a
type field that specifies the following Protocols
Type:
1 = EtherCAT
2 = ADS ( Beckhoff mailbox protocol)
3 = Raw-Io
4 = Network Variables
5 = EtherCAT mailbox
that are included in the plugin. The 88A4 protocol is also dissected
if the udp port is 88A4.
The ADS protocol is also dissected if the tcp port is 0xbf02.
Best regards
Richard Kuemmel
