Moxa EtherNet/IP Gateways
EtherNet/IP is used for communication between connected devices. It enables real-time communication to feed machine data platforms and deliver insights to the user or machine for consumption.
EtherNet/IP Protocol Explained
EtherNet/IP uses both of the most widely deployed collections of Ethernet standards –the Internet Protocol suite and IEEE 802.3 – to define the features and functions for its transport, network, data link and physical layers.

EtherNet/IP enables real-time communication between connected devices, feeding machine data platforms and delivering insights to the user or machine.
Devices ranging from PLCs, controllers, wireless devices, edge computing nodes, IIoT sensors, robotic devices, and more. Allowing devices to communicate the millions of data points that machines generate.
This data can then be sent to a cloud-based machine data platforms for processing and analysis.
