· Enables greater topology configuration choices for
EtherNet/IP applications, such as linear and devicelevel
ring (DLR)
· Allows for a high-performance ring capability
(make/break < 3 ms), complete with diagnostics and
fast recovery to lower downtime
· Supports IEEE 1588 precision time protocol (PTP) for
precise time synchronization and Quality of Service
(QoS) to help prioritize data transmission
· Includes open standard technology which is available
