EtherNet/IP Connectivity

Ethernet/IP™ has become a popular network for connecting field devices to centralized control solutions from Allen Bradley™ and other suppliers. Ethernet IP allows designers to seamlessly integrate a broad range of compatible connectivity products from many manufacturers. Balluff has developed a comprehensive line of Ethernet/IP products that include two versions of machine-mount I/O blocks, unmanaged switches, network cables and accessories. At the heart of the line are the I/O blocks. These blocks have a low initial cost per point and are designed to save money over the life of the system with maximum uptime and easy maintenance.

I/O Block Network Features:
■ Easy, flexible IP addressing methods 
    - BOOTP/DHCP 
    - IP67 quick change addressing plug (IPAP) 
    - Addressable display (100 series only) 
    - Webserver interface 
■ Certified by ODVA to ensure reliable operation and complete interoperability 
■ Operates at 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s speeds for maximum throughput (auto recognize) 
■ Rugged M12 (D-coded) ethernet connector 
■ Supports star topology for increased reliability, accurate troubleshooting, and fast commissioning
