FUSION/Compact FUSION: EtherNet/IP

Summary

Ethernet is a familiar network framework available on a huge range of technologies and devices. The EtherNet/IP fieldbus option uses Ethernet communication to make accessing your controller easier and more efficient. Additionally, EtherNet/IP simplifies cabling between the controller and I/O devices.

The FUSION Control Panel software is provided free with all of our digital controllers. This program works well with Ethernet interfaces, allowing you to easily enter parameters and troubleshoot the controller using a straightforward visual interface.
