'''EtherNet/IP''' (IP = Industrial Protocol)<ref name="white paper">{{Cite web |url=https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/wp/enet-wp001_-en-p.pdf |title=EtherNet/IP: Industrial Protocol White Paper |last=Brooks |first=Paul |date=October 2001}}</ref> is an industrial network protocol that adapts the [[Common Industrial Protocol]] (CIP) to standard [[Ethernet]].<ref>{{cite web|title=EtherNet/IP – CIP on Ethernet Technology|url=https://www.odva.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/PUB00138R7_Tech-Series-EtherNetIP.pdf|website=ODVA|access-date=22 March 2023}}</ref> EtherNet/IP is one of the leading industrial protocols in the United States and is widely used in a range of industries including factory, hybrid and process. The EtherNet/IP and CIP technologies are managed by [[ODVA (company)|ODVA]], Inc., a global trade and standards development organization founded in 1995 with over 300 corporate members.

EtherNet/IP uses [[Ethernet]] as its data link and physical layer, the [[Internet Protocol]] as its network layer, and [[Transmission Control Protocol|TCP]] and [[User Datagram Protocol|UDP]] as its transport layer. EtherNet/IP performs at the session layer and above (layers 5, 6 and 7) of the [[OSI model]]. CIP uses its object-oriented design to provide EtherNet/IP with the services and device profiles needed for real-time control applications and to promote consistent implementation of automation functions across a diverse ecosystem of products. In addition, EtherNet/IP adapts key elements of the Internet Protocol suite to the CIP object model framework; for example, it uses UDP to transport I/O messages.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Reliance Electric GV3000 2CN3000 {{!}} Automation Industrial |url=https://2cn3000.com/blog |access-date=2023-12-23 |website=2cn3000.com |language=en}}</ref>

Ethernet/IP was estimated to have about 30% share of the [[industrial Ethernet]] market in 2010<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.i-automation.com/acacf109-1271-400d-96f1-e8dbbb588867/news-and-events-in-the-news-detail.htm |title=Industrial Ethernet market study |date=2010-09-01 |access-date=2019-10-08 |archive-date=2019-10-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191008144201/http://www.i-automation.com/acacf109-1271-400d-96f1-e8dbbb588867/news-and-events-in-the-news-detail.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> and 2018.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.anybus.com/about-us/news/2018/02/16/industrial-ethernet-is-now-bigger-than-fieldbuses |title=Industrial Ethernet is now bigger than Fieldbus |last=Carlsson |first=Thomas |date=2018-02-16 |access-date=2019-10-08 |archive-date=2019-10-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191008144157/https://www.anybus.com/about-us/news/2018/02/16/industrial-ethernet-is-now-bigger-than-fieldbuses |url-status=dead }}{{Cite web |url=https://www.anybus.com/about-us/news/2018/02/16/industrial-ethernet-is-now-bigger-than-fieldbuses |title=Industrial Ethernet is now bigger than Fieldbus |last=Carlsson |first=Thomas |date=2018-02-16 |access-date=2019-10-08 |archive-date=2019-10-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191008144157/https://www.anybus.com/about-us/news/2018/02/16/industrial-ethernet-is-now-bigger-than-fieldbuses |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== History ==
Development of EtherNet/IP began in the 1990s within a technical working group of ControlNet International, Ltd.(CI), another trade and standards development organization. In 2000, ODVA and CI formed a joint technology agreement (JTA) for the development of EtherNet/IP. In 2009, the JTA was terminated and EtherNet/IP became under the sole control of ODVA and its members. Today, EtherNet/IP is one of four networks that adapt CIP to an industrial network along with DeviceNet, ControlNet and CompoNet. All of these networks are managed by [[ODVA (company)|ODVA]], Inc.

== Technical detail ==
EtherNet/IP classifies Ethernet [[Node (networking)|nodes]] into predefined device types with specific behaviors. Among other things, this enables:
* Transfer of basic I/O data via UDP-based implicit messaging
* Uploading and downloading of parameters, setpoints, programs and recipes via TCP (i.e., explicit messaging.)
* Polled, cyclic and change-of-state monitoring via UDP.
* One-to-one ([[unicast]]), one-to-many ([[multicast]]), and one-to-all (broadcast) communication via IP.
* EtherNet/IP makes use of TCP port number 44818 for explicit messaging and UDP port number 2222 for implicit messaging

== Open-source implementation ==
A portable [[Open-source model|open-source]] implementation named OpENer was started in 2009. The source code is available on [[GitHub]], under an adapted [[BSD license]].<ref name="OpENer">{{cite web|url=https://github.com/EIPStackGroup/OpENer|title=OpENer EtherNet/IP stack|website=[[GitHub]] |access-date=5 May 2017}}</ref>
