Networks Matter
Now more than ever, machine
builders and their end customers are
looking to simplify their automation
systems and avoid risk. Many are
accomplishing these goals by
converging their network
infrastructure with EtherNet/IP.
The genius and simplicity of
EtherNet/IP rests on its ability to
deliver the real-time performance,
resiliency and security of a traditional
field bus solution, along with the
bandwidth, open connectivity and
global acceptance of standard
Ethernet. Convergence with
EtherNet/IP helps eliminate the
need for machine builders to design,
integrate and maintain multiple
networks – a move that reduces the
Total Cost to Design, Develop and
DeliverSM machines while bringing
new performance-boosting Network Convergence
capabilities to their end customers.
Traditionally, machine builders have used a dedicated network for each
application. By replacing this multi-tier networking strategy with one
standard network, machine builders can reduce their engineering time
and integration risks.
Rockwell Automation supports EtherNet/IP (with “IP” referring to Industrial
Protocol), the world’s leading industrial Ethernet network, for network
convergence. It is the only industrial protocol that is established enough
to connect from the instrumentation level all the way up to the end
customer’s IT infrastructure, and across applications, including discrete,
process, safety, motion and drive control. Also, EtherNet/IP is the only
industrial network that is built on standard TCP/IP technology – the same
Ethernet standard as e-mail, the Internet and other commercial
applications. Other industrial Ethernet protocols require proprietary
chipsets and hardware, which can hinder innovation and system longevity.
