Ethernet TCP/IP and EtherNet/IP
Ethernet TCP/IP is the standard Ethernet interface used to connect multiple locations in a
network, such as computers in an office network. It can also be used to network other
communications devices, such as scanners and PLCs on a factory floor.
EtherNet/IP™ is a protocol developed and governed by
Association). It is based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™). The CIP layer is an
additional layer within the standard Ethernet interface (Ethernet TCP/IP). EtherNet/IP is
common in control systems and PLCs, especially in the United States.
The highlighted areas below demonstrate how an Ethernet daisy chain can be arranged.
Ethernet-enabled scanners can also be set up in standalone configurations, or multiple
Ethernet-enabled scanners along a production or packaging line can be connected to Ethernet.
