EtherNet/IP

Integrated Architecture

• EtherNet/IP

Resources

EtherNet/IP is the same Ethernet used in your front office, combined with a common protocol that provides robust, real-time networking for motion, drive, safety, process and high-speed discrete control. Unlike other networks that continuously alter their network design to meet the demands of industrial applications, EtherNet/IP helps ensure high usability and consistency of the entire system for increased real-time capabilities.

EtherNet/IP is:

• Standard ethernet
• Simple / Robust
• Future ready
• The path to a single network architecture

Information Access in an “IT-Ready" Format Expandability Compatibility Architecture Simplification

• Eliminate the gateways and bridges when using specialty or special-purpose networks.
• Reduce the complexity of your design with fewer networks by using multiple topologies, devices and managed switch rings.
