Chapter 2 Network Communication
EtherNet/IP Network
Communication The EtherNet/IP network offers a full suite of control, configuration, and
data collection services by layering the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)
over the standard Internet protocols, such as TCP/IP and UDP. This
combination of well-accepted standards provides the capability required to
both support information data exchange and control applications.
The EtherNet/IP network also uses commercial, off-the-shelf Ethernet
components and physical media, providing you with a cost-effective
plant-floor solution.
For EtherNet/IP networks, you can use these CompactLogix packaged
controllers with a built-in EtherNet/IP communication port:
• 1769-L23E-QB1B CompactLogix packaged controller
• 1769-L23E-QBFC CompactLogix packaged controller
Software for an EtherNet/IP Network
