ODVA Partnership Assures broad Ethernet standard
Schneider Electric has partnered with the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA) to bring together the two most successful industrial Ethernet protocols – EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP – to create a common, worldwide Industrial Ethernet standard for plant floor communications.
Users will benefit from a reduction in cost, time and risk for deploying and maintaining network architectures. Since both protocols will be supported with the enhanced standard, current users of Modbus TCP or EtherNet/IP
are assured a future-proof network that provides interoperability of multivendor systems and protects their investment. Schneider Electric currently offers an HMI product that supports EtherNet/IP. Other devices, such as I/O, drives and safety controller products that support
EtherNet/IP, will be available later this year. These devices will also be compatible with existing Modbus TCP devices and systems. The partnership with ODVA will further
expand Schneider Electric’s Transparent Ready Web-enabled power and control technology. By supporting
EtherNet/IP and the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™) model, Transparent Ready technology can take advantage of CIP Sync, CIP Motion, and CIP Safety profiles and protocols.
