What are Ethernet/IP communication modules?
EtherNet/IP communication modules must consider connections and Ethernet nodes to communicate on the EtherNet/IP network. connection is a point-to-point communication mechanism that is used to transfer data between a transmitter and a receiver. Connections can be logical or physical.
Do you know the Ethernet cable?
Whether you’ve been aware of it or not, you’ve probably used the Ethernet in the past. Does this cable look familiar? Ethernet is extremely popular, and is the most widely used Data Link Layer protocol, at least where the devices are linked by physical cables (rather than wireless).
What does EtherNet/IP stand for?
EtherNet/IP uses standard Ethernet and TCP/IP technologies and an open, application-layer protocol called the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™). IEEE 802.3—Standard Ethernet, Precision Time Protocol (IEEE-1588) IETF—Internet Engineering Task Force, standard Internet Protocol (IP) IEC—International Electrotechnical Commission
How do Ethernet networks work?
Ethernet networks are laid out in point-to-point configurations with one or more cables for each device. Ethernet networks have active infrastructures that rely on switches. You can design a network with individual switch devices and devices with embedded switch technology. support Device Level Ring technology.
