Note:
This module is available from N3uron version 1.22.0.
EtherNet/IP Client is a N3uron module that provides a simple, reliable way to connect N3uron to devices that communicate using the EtherNet/IP protocol (CIP over TCP/IP). EtherNet/IP Client is easy to set up, configure, and manage. Users only need to configure a small set of parameters to establish communication with the device and start real-time data exchange with the N3uron node. This data can then be made available to other systems through any of the Data Delivery modules implemented within the N3uron platform, such as MQTT Client, OPC UA Server, Modbus Server, DNP Server, Sparkplug Client, REST API Server, etc.
