EtherNet/IP Embedded Switch Technology Application Guide, publication ENET-AP005 Describes how to install, configure, and maintain linear and device-level ring (DLR)
networks by using EtherNet/IP devices with embedded switch technology.
EtherNet/IP QuickConnect Application Technique, publication ENET-AT001 Describes EtherNet/IP QuickConnect technology. QuickConnect technology enables
EtherNet/IP devices to quickly power up and join an EtherNet/IP network.
EtherNet/IP Socket Interface Application Technique, publication ENET-AT002 Describes the socket interface used to program MSG instructions to communicate
between a Logix5000 controller via an EtherNet/IP module and Ethernet devices that do
not support the EtherNet/IP application protocol.
EtherNet/IP Network Configuration User Manual, publication ENET-UM001 Describes how to configure and use EtherNet/IP communication modules with a
Logix5000 controller and communicate with various devices on the Ethernet network.

Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) Design and Implementation Guide,
publication
ENET-TD001
Represents a collaborative development effort from Rockwell Automation and Cisco
Systems. The design guide is built on, and adds to, design guidelines from the Cisco
Ethernet-to-the-Factory (EttF) solution and the Rockwell Automation Integrated
Architecture™. The design guide focuses on the manufacturing industry.
Embedded Switch Technology Reference Architectures, publication ENET-RM003 Provides design recommendations for connecting device-level topologies to networks
comprised of Layer 2 switches. It also covers the implementation of embedded switch
technology within the Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) Cell/Area zone.
