Ethernetipõhised

Ethernet/IP is an industrial communication protocol that enables devices on an Ethernet network to exchange data for automation purposes. It is part of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) family, which also includes DeviceNet and ControlNet, allowing for a unified approach to industrial networking. Ethernet/IP utilizes standard Ethernet hardware and the TCP/IP suite of protocols, making it interoperable with standard IT infrastructure.

The protocol defines standard objects and behaviors for industrial devices, enabling seamless integration between equipment from different manufacturers. It supports various communication mechanisms, including explicit messaging for configuration and diagnostics, and implicit messaging (also known as I/O messaging) for real-time data exchange. Ethernet/IP is widely adopted in manufacturing and process control industries for applications such as robotics, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and sensor networks. Its open nature and reliance on widely available Ethernet technology contribute to its popularity and widespread use in industrial automation.
