PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit or PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit II

Hello everybody,

I'm looking for a controller comprising a web service that can perform the following tasks:

- At power up, initialize static or dynamic information network with DHCP

- Setting the program functions through a web page, like this: http://www.automelec.ch/transit/hcpx32/HCPX32C.htm

- The program will establish one or more connections clients (TCP/IP or UDP/IP) with proprietary devices and cyclically exchange data with them

Here is an example of the network I need to do: http://www.automelec.ch/transit/hcpx32/H_plc_net.jpg

My question is the following: Does the controller "PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit" would be able to perform the tasks mentioned above?

Thanking you in advance for your answers, I wish you a nice day.

Cordially.

Christophe

Without detailed specifications showing interactions of the parts, I can give you a qualified yes.
The documentation supports a full TCP/IP stack allowing static or dynamic IP assignment. This can be displayed on the HTML page using dynamic variables.
The PLC is outside my specific information range without further details. WE can assume they are workable with more time.
You have multiple Connexion machines. Are these connected to same or different controller "PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit"? Are they scattered or local?
Are the clients humans or machines(other maybe)?
Regards,
Clem

Thank you Clem for your quick response :-)

I go to prepare a specific flowchart (algorithm) to explain what I expect from the controller PIC32.
Here in advance to respond quickly to your questions:

1. The PIC32 controller must be http server based on the "Global settings" parameters of the html page: http://www.automelec.ch/transit/hcpx32/HCPX32C.htm

2. An additional html page will be expanded later to view the status of PLC connections and the status of the H-Protocol communication with the PLC

3. The main program must perform the following tasks:
i:= 1   // Init the first connexion index to 1
while true do
   {
   if Protocol[i] <> "Not Used" then   // With Protocol[i] as variables
      {
      if open Read PLC connection[i] == ok then   // With Protocol[i] and Port[i] as variables
         {
         if send InitOccupation to Read PLC[i] == ok then // H-Protocol
            {
            if open Write PLC connection[i] == ok then   // With Protocol[i] and Port[i] as variables
               {
               if send InitOccupation to Write PLC[i] == ok then   // H-Protocol
                  {
                  // Bits data exchange between PLC for connexion[i]
                  if (Read PLC.I/O code (bits)[i] <> "Not Used") and (Write PLC.I/O code (bits)[i] <> "Not Used") then
                     if read data from Read PLC.bits[i] == ok then   // H-Protocol
                        if write data to Write PLC.bits[i] == ok then   // H-Protocol
                           {
                           Clearing the last possible error   // All of task[i] are ended normally
                           }
                        else
                           {
                           Handle Write PLC.bits[i] error
                           }
                     else
                        {
                        Handle read data from Read PLC.bits[i] error
                        }
                  // Words data exchange between PLC for connexion[i]
                  if (Read PLC.I/O code (words)[i] <> "Not Used") and (Write PLC.I/O code (words)[i] <> "Not Used") then
                     if read data from Read PLC.words[i] == ok then   // H-Protocol
                        if write data to Write PLC.words[i] == ok then   // H-Protocol
                           {
                           Clearing the last possible error   // The task[i] ended normally
                           }
                        else
                           {
                           Handle Write PLC.words[i] error
                           }
                     else
                        {
                        Handle read data from Read PLC.words[i] error
                        }
                  send ClearOccupation to Write PLC[i]   // H-Protocol
                  }
               else
                  {
                  Handle InitOccupation to Write PLC[i] error
                  }
               Close Write PLC connection[i]
               }
            else
               {
               Handle Write PLC connection[i] error
               }
            send ClearOccupation to Read PLC[i]   // H-Protocol
            }
         else
            {
            Handle InitOccupation to Read PLC[i] error
            }
         Close Read PLC connection[i]
         }
      else
         {
         Handle Read PLC connection[i] error
         }
      }
   i:= i + 1
   if i > 4 then
      {
      i:= 1
      }
   }   // Main loop

I know very well H-Protocol for developing a Windows drivers

All communication is done only with PLC Hitachi machines
