Industrial Networking

Based on Ethernet, EtherNet/IP is considerably faster than DeviceNet and facilitates the integration of drive technology. Furthermore, EtherNet/IP can be quickly installed and integrated in existing networks. In addition to time savings and considerable cost savings comes the added benefit of ease of operation. Only Balluff products can program IP addresses of the Ethernet blocks with a display and the display can be locked to protect against accidental changes.
