for Allen-Bradley PLCs
September 21, 2011

Learn about the latest Ethernet Technologies and how they can provide a robust, faster and more reliable Ethernet network

•Significantly reduce traffic from bandwidth-intensive IP multicast traffic generated by Rockwell Automation products - Auto IGMP

•Automatic detection of router ports for seamless formation of IGMP groups in EtherNet/IP™ environments - Auto Query

•Improve determinism and reduce latency when used with Rockwell Automation's PLC's - Port QoS

•Reduces unnecessary network loading - Port Filtering
We will show you how to dramatically save time in configuring, commissioning, and maintaining EtherNet/IP™ based control systems.
