The Ethernet Industrial Protocol (EtherNet/IP) is a fieldbus system for industrial process
communication in the automation technology. It extends the Ethernet standard by the object-oriented
Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) as application layer.
The following tables shows the main features of the EtherNet/IP:
Topology
star, tree, line
Recommendation: Switched Ethernet
Connection technology
Standard Ethernet cable and connector
Screened 10/100 Mbit/s TX Ethernet cable
RJ45, M12
Transmission rate
10, 100 MBits
Transmission modes
cyclic and acyclic
