enip
ENIP, short for EtherNet/IP, is an industrial automation protocol that maps the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) onto Ethernet networks. It enables real-time exchange of I/O data, control information, and configuration between industrial devices such as PLCs, safety controllers, HMIs, sensors, actuators, and drives over standard Ethernet infrastructure. ENIP is standardized by the ODVA and is widely used in manufacturing, packaging, and process industries.
Technically, EtherNet/IP relies on the CIP object model, which defines a set of standard and vendor-specific
Network design and topology in ENIP deployments typically use conventional Ethernet hardware, including switches and routers,
Security considerations for ENIP include network segmentation, access controls, and the use of CIP Security where
