Hello,
I just have a quick question, does 4diac IDE support Ethernet/IP?

Currently we don't have any EtherNet/IP support. The main reason for that is the license policy of ODVA. However integrating EtherNet/IP shouldn't be to hard. What would you need master oder slave.

In EtherNet/IP speak that is a scanner. As I have some experience with EtherNet/IP (I was involved in the open source EtherNet/IP adapter stack OpENer [1]) I can tell you that is not as easy. I strongly recommend that you are looking for some scanner library helping you to implement that functionality. Also I would like to point you to ODVA [2]. There is some excellent material to learn more about the overall functionality of EtherNet/IP and how to get started, if you don't have the knowledge yet.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Alois

We already have a EIP scanner for windows done in C. Well have to port it into a function block in 4diac

In that case it should be pretty straight forward to wrap this in one or more FBs. e.g., the IX, QX, IW, QW could be good starting points. Especially if you want to use EIP for IOs.
