  • What is the Assembly Object Class?
  • Does it matter which TCP/IP stack we use to build an EtherNet/IP device?
  • Is DeviceNet obsolete or complementary to EtherNet/IP?
  • How important is the compliance test process?
  • Is CoCO good for EtherNet/IP scanner devices or delicious with marshmallows?

Toss and turn no more! With this handy guide on your bedside table, you’ll be able to navigate the world of EtherNet/IP and, who knows, maybe entertain a companion with interesting tidbits.

What our Customers are Saying

"EtherNet/IP and the CIP protocol are important technologies for control, automation and the Industrial Internet of Things. John has a talent for descibing technology for decision-makers who may not be programmers. He did it for OPC UA and again here for EtherNet/IP."

Gary M. / CEO and Founder, The Manufacturing Connection

"This book is a great resource for understanding the technical aspects of EtherNet/IP and its role in automation architectures that are driving greater manufacturing, and process industry productivity. John Rinaldi clearly communicates with an easy to understand and effective writing style, so readers benefit from his many years of practical experience."
