The EtherNet/IP™ In-cabinet system provides a secure infrastructure to access identity, state, runtime, and maintenance information from devices in the control panel. This system eliminates control wiring, reduces panel space requirements, and reduces commissioning efforts.
An EtherNet/IP In-cabinet system is a linear flat media network with up to 25 meters (82 ft) connectivity and 40 connected nodes. A single flat media network cable incorporates both device power bus (NP) for communications along with a switched power bus (SP) for powering larger loads such as electronic coils.
