Ethernet/IP Addressing
The Ethernet/IP module uses Dynamic addressing using DHCP for address requests
as the default. The data is transmitted continuously from this module. The IP
address may be made static by downloading the IP Configuration Tool software from
With this utility, it is possible to change the IP, Sub Net and Gateway addresses of an
Ethernet/IP Module. To change an address, double click on the IP address field and
enter the changes.
EtherNet/IP can be easily confused as a simple combination of EtherNet and the
Internet Protocol. Instead, it is an Industrial Application Layer Protocol used for
communication between industrial control systems and their components.
Such components include Programmable Automation Controller, Logic
Controller, or an I/O System.
The “IP” in EtherNet/IP is not an abbreviation for “Internet Protocol”, but instead, it
stands for “Industrial Protocol”.
