In early 2000 the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association introduced EtherNet/IP as the Ethernet implementation of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) found in DeviceNet and ControlNet. EtherNet/IP is an industrial networking application layer protocol that takes advantage of commercial off-the-shelf Ethernet technology and physical media. The IP in EtherNet/IP stands for 'industrial protocol' and is what distinguishes this network from “office Ethernet”. EtherNet/IP is an open protocol application layer supported by three networking organizations: ControlNet International (CI), the Industrial Ethernet Association (IEA) and the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA).
Ethernet/IP delivers the one feature that has eluded the automation community - interoperable Ethernet products from an unparalleled community of vendors. Today EtherNet/IP is very popular in automotive, semiconductor, material handling and many other parts of the automation business. In fact, EtherNet/IP capability is a prerequisite for participation in many new automation projects. This website is about getting that capability. Quite frankly, today it is a mistake to not support EtherNet/IP.
You can now add EtherNet/IP communications to your product quickly and easily with the EtherNet/IP Client development kit from Real Time Automation, Inc.. Developed specifically for industrial platforms and fully integrated with any number of RTOS systems and TCP/IP stacks, you can have EtherNet/IP Client communications in days not weeks, months or years. The development kit includes everything you need to implement your EtherNet/IP networking solution; “no royalty”, single task source code, a ready-to-run sample application, complete documentation and much more.

| “I have found RTAs knowledge of PLC networks, especially EtherNet/IP and SDS, to be extremely valuable. Their years of experience allowed them to develop plug-in modules to our specifications more quickly and less costly than an in-house development. Along the way RTA, Inc. provided quality documentation and hardware, well-debugged software and a friendly communicative attitude. We will continue to use RTA, Inc. in the future.” |

| “I was extremely pleased with amount and the quality of support I received from RTA, Inc.. Porting their code over to my non-standard application was a minor monumental task to say the least, but they were with me every step of the way. RTA, Inc. was as determined to make my project work as I was, Thanks RTA, Inc.!” |
