Connect to the EtherNet/IP Network
EtherNet/IP™ networks are communication networks that offer a
comprehensive suite of messages and services for many automation
applications.
The following are examples of applications that use EtherNet/IP networks:
•Real-Time Control
• Time Synchronization
•Motion
This open network standard uses commonly available Ethernet
communication products to support real-time I/O messaging, information
exchange, and general messaging.
EtherNet/IP networks also support CIP Safety™, which makes the
simultaneous transmission of safety and standard control data and diagnostics
information over a common network possible.
