+# EtherIP Dependency
+
+For interacting with Ethernet IP/CIP devices we rely on an open source library which isn't published on Maven-Central:
+
+[EtherIP](https://github.com/ornl-epics/etherip/)
+
+We build the library internall and provide the binary in **libs/etherip-1.0.0.jar**.
+
+In case you want to build the libary yourself simply check out the original project, build the libary and put it into 
+the libs folder.
