The EtherNet/IP (EIP) driver allows the Multi-Protocol Gateway to transfer data to and from devices over Ethernet using the EtherNet/IP protocol. The Multi-Protocol Gateway can emulate either a Server or Client.
EtherNet/IP uses CIP (Control and Information Protocol), the common network, transport and application layers also shared by ControlNet and DeviceNet.
