17 Ethernet
All ethernet-based protocols and tools are described in this chapter. These are currently the
application protocols Modbus/TCP and Ethernet/IP.
As different communication modules are used for the various application protocols, the
corresponding software user interfaces are also different.
17.1 Terms and Definitions
Modbus/TCP
Uses the TCP/UP standard for transmission. The application data appear as a Modbus
RTU-frame.
Ethernet/IP
Ethernet/IP expands the standard Ethernet by the Commin Industrial Protocol (CIP™). This
is the same application protocol and object model used by DeviceNet. CIP facilitates
interoperability between devices from different manufacturers and sub-networks.
