EtherNet/IP simplifies network architecture, helping drive plantwide optimization

EtherNet/IP, the world’s leading industrial network, helps enable plantwide control, visualization and decision support, with the ability to manage discrete, process, safety, motion and drive applications on a single network. The convergence of plant-floor to the business enterprise via EtherNet/IP provides greater access to manufacturing data for making more accurate and informed decisions, while optimizing internal assets and resources, and utilizing a standard protocol. ODVA recently extended the EtherNet/IP specifications to include CIP Motion technology, delivering the speed, sophistication and precision demanded by motion control applications.

Expansions to the Rockwell Automation Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP portfolio

Rockwell Automation has introduced new variable frequency and servo drive solutions with Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP technology: the Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6500 servo drive and the enhanced Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 AC drive. When used with the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix programmable automation controller, these products provide high-performance, closed- and open-loop drive control using EtherNet/IP. This development means you no longer need a dedicated motion network. Now, users can unite high-performance drives, I/O, smart actuators and any other EtherNet/IP-connected device on a common network, helping to simplify machine design, operation and maintenance. Next year, Rockwell Automation plans to increase the scalability of this portfolio by introducing a servo drive that brings Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP capabilities to the Allen‑Bradley CompactLogix platform.
