Ethernet/IP

Ethernet/IP
Overview
Services

EtherNet/IP is a widely used industrial communication technology that enables reliable data exchange between controllers, machines, sensors, and connected devices. By combining the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) with standard Ethernet technologies, it supports scalable and efficient communication across modern automation environments. ARMA DST provides engineering support for the integration, development, testing, and optimisation of EtherNet/IP-based solutions, helping customers build robust and interoperable industrial systems.
