EtherNet/IP Network
Communication
The EtherNet/IP network offers a full suite of control, configuration,
and data collection services by layering the Common Industrial
Protocol (CIP) over the standard Internet protocols, such as TCP/IP
and UDP. This combination of well-accepted standards provides the
capability required to both support information data exchange and
control applications.
The EtherNet/IP network also uses commercial, off-the-shelf Ethernet
components and physical media, providing you with a cost-effective
plant-floor solution.
For EtherNet/IP network communication, you have several
communication modules from which to choose.
EtherNet/IP Communication Modules
Serial Network Communication 31
DH-485 Network Communication 37
DH+ Network Communication 41
Universal Remote I/O Communication 43
Foundation Fieldbus 45
HART 46
