Presentation
The
TSX ETC 101
EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP network module is a single format
module, compatible with Unity Pro software, which is inserted in a Modicon Premium
rack slot.
A configuration can take from 1 to 4 network modules, depending on the type of
processor.
EtherNet/IP protocol
EtherNet/IP is the Ethernet industrial network protocol based on CIP (
Common
Industrial Protocol
).
CIP and EtherNet/IP are protocols owned and managed by the ODVA, an
independent standards organization made up of members from the world's leading
automation companies.
Schneider Electric is a principal member of the ODVA organization.
Schneider Electric's presence in the organization and its technical committees
makes it easy for Modbus/TCP users to connect to the CIP network while retaining
their existing automation investment.
Users thus have the benefit of optimized interoperability between the installed bases
of the most widely used industrial Ethernet networks - EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP -
and between the automation products of a growing number of manufacturers.
This convergence enables users to reduce installation and maintenance times, costs
and risks.
