It doesn’t. EtherNet/IP and standard industrial Ethernet are related, but not the same thing. Ethernet is the protocol for the physical layer that makes the connection to the network, and EtherNet/IP ...

IP packets are encapsulated in the data section of data-link protocol, such as Ethernet or FDDI. When the packet hits a router, the IP packet is stripped out and the destination address examined.

AutomationDirect now offers EtherNet/IP protocol communication for the Protos X line of field I/O. The Protos X "Xpansion" field I/O system is a modular system consisting of a Bus Coupler and its ...

As companion networks, DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP use the same application-layer protocol. Consequently, the networks also share device profiles and an object library. This allows EtherNet/IP ...

This relatively new protocol for storage technology offers many compelling benefits, including the ability to inexpensively create a storage area network using standard Ethernet components ...

Much like the Fibre Channel storage protocol, which uses SCSI disk commands over fiber optics, AoE is designed to transport ATA disk commands over standard Ethernet without using TCP/IP.

Ethernet-based protocols are being used more frequently at field sites. Most are open-standard protocols, such as Modbus/TCP, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA in automation, or ONVIF in video.
