EtherNet/IP Products

The Best PLC Integration Available

EtherNet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) is a popular Industrial Ethernet network, which combines standard Ethernet technologies with the media-independent Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™). Essentially, it is an application-layer protocol on top of the well known and widely popular TCP/IP protocols for network connectivity.

EtherNet/IP networks use standard Ethernet physical, data link, network and transport layers. CIP provides a common set of messages and services for industrial automation control systems and can be used in multiple physical media. EtherNet/IP establishes communication from one application node to another through connections using the standard Ethernet and switches, thus it can have an unlimited number of nodes in a system. This enables one network across many different end points in a factory floor. EtherNet/IP offers complete producer-consumer service and enables very efficient slave peer-to-peer communications; it is compatible with many standard Internet and Ethernet protocols.

AMCI designs and manufactures several lines of products with high-speed EtherNet/IP connectivity, including such with 2-port embedded switch for DLR functionality.
