The Ethernet Industrial (EtherNet/IP) network protocol is an open industrial-networking standard that supports both real-time I/O messaging and message exchange. It emerged due to the high demand for using the Ethernet network for control applications. The EtherNet/IP network uses off-the-shelf Ethernet communication chips and physical media.
The EtherNet/IP network provides excellent drive and I/O control performance along with HMI information processing and many commercial technologies.
Select an EtherNet/IP Interface
Select the appropriate controller and EtherNet/IP interface depending on the application and how the controller interacts with the devices.
| If your application uses | Select for a 1769-L23x controller | Select for a 1769-L3x controller | Select for a 1768-L4x controller |
| • Controls I/O modules • Requires an adapter for distributed I/O on EtherNet/IP links • Communicates with other EtherNet/IP devices (messages) • Bridges EtherNet/IP links to route messages to devices on other networks |
1769-L23E controller with integrated EtherNet/IP port | 1769-L32E or 1769-L35E controller with integrated EtherNet/IP port | 1768-ENBT scanner module |
| • Requires remote access via an internet browser to tags in a local chassis • Supports custom Web pages • Bridges EtherNet/IP links to route messages to devices on other networks |
