Ethernet/IP uses all the transport and control protocols of standard Ethernet including the Transport Control Protocol (TCP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), the Internet Protocol (IP) and the media access and signaling technologies found in off-the-shelf Ethernet technology. Building on these standard communication technologies means that Ethernet/IP works transparently with all the standard Ethernet devices found in today's market-place. It also means that Ethernet/IP automatically benefits from all further technology enhancements such as Gigabit Ethernet and Wireless technologies.
Configuration with EDS-Files
During the setup phase of the Ethernet/IP network, the Ethernet/IP Master Scanner must be configured with a special configuration tool such as Rockwell Automation's RSNetWorx. The configuration process is based on electronic device data sheets (EDS-Files) which are required for each Ethernet/IP device. EDS-Files are provided by the device manufacturers and contain electronic descriptions all relevant communication parameter and objects of the Ethernet/IP device.

Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)
CIP provides a wide range of standard objects and services for access to data and for control of network devices via so-called "implicit" and "explicit" messages. The CIP data packets are encapsulated before they will be send with standard TCP or UDP telegrams on the Ethernet.
