EtherNet/IP Products - Drives and Integrated Motors with EtherNet/IP Communication Ports

The Applied Motion stepper and servo products listed above incorporate EtherNet/IP network communications, the widely used industrial protocol for manufacturing automation applications. With EtherNet/IP users can control, configure and query drives using an open, standards-based, industrial Ethernet connection at speeds up to 100 MBits/sec.

Applied Motion drives and motors with EtherNet/IP – designated by “IP” in the model number – run all of the same control modes as “Q” drives, with the addition that all drive features can be accessed over EtherNet/IP. This means that “IP” drives can operate in step (pulse) & direction, torque (servo), velocity, and streaming serial command (SCL) modes, as well as run stand-alone Q programs stored in non-volatile memory. This level of control includes access to more than 100 commands and 130 data registers over the EtherNet/IP network, which can be used for controlling motion & I/O, configuration, polling, math, register manipulation, and more.

EtherNet/IP is an industrial Ethernet network solution built on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), and is supported by the ODVA. Drives and integrated motors from Applied Motion Products are ODVA Conformant under Declaration of Conformity 11785.
