15.8.5 Ethernet/IP
Ethernet is one of the most popular network technologies in use today. The major reasons for the
popularity are a suitable mix of speed, cost and ease of installation. The technology benefits, the market
acceptance, and the possibility to support, more or less, any non-real-time critical protocol, makes the
Ethernet an ideal networking technology for most systems.

Hardware
The module is based on a high performance CPU operating at 66 MHz. It features 8MB RAM and 2 MB
FLASH. Both EthernetIP and ModbusTCP use the same interface card from HMS.

Supported fieldbus protocols
ModBus/TCP
The module supports the ModBus/TCP protocol and is conform to the ModBus/TCP specification 1.0.
More information about the ModBus/TCP protocol can be found at
http://www.modicon.com/openmbus/index.html
Ethernet/IP
The module supports the Ethernet protocol.
Ethernet/IP is based on the control and information protocol, CIP, which is also the framework for both
DeviceNet and ControlNet, to carry and exchange data between nodes. To be consistent with the other
fieldbus modules that is based on the CIP, i.e., DeviceNet and ControlNet, the same vendor specific
objects are implemented, together with new objects for servicing and monitoring the IT functionality.
