Rockwell Automation, Inc. has announced the release of its EtherNet/IP™ In-cabinet Solution, a major advancement designed to meet the growing demand for smarter, faster and more connected manufacturing operations.
As companies strive to improve productivity and reduce downtime, traditional hard-wired control panels often stand in the way, limiting data access and complicating system upgrades. The EtherNet/IP In-cabinet Solution addresses those challenges by streamlining communications between devices with the panel, making system integration simpler, boosting real-time data access and helping manufacturers make faster, more informed decisions.
"Our EtherNet/IP In-cabinet Solution is a game-changer in industrial connectivity," said Kelly Passineau, product manager at Rockwell Automation. "By leveraging single-pair Ethernet/IP technology, we're helping customers reduce installation time, enhance operational efficiency and integrate wired components into a more intelligent, data-driven network.”
Early adopters are already seeing the impact. Volga, a Rockwell Systems Integrator Partner and a leading manufacturer based in Brazil specializing in electrical, mechanical and automation control, reported dramatic improvements after adopting the EtherNet/IP In-Cabinet Solution.
Key benefits of this new offering include:
- Faster Installation: When implemented in accordance with recommended standards, it can help cut wiring time by up to 80% compared to traditional hard-wired installation.
- Optimized Space: The compact design allows for efficient use of cabinet space, enabling more devices to be installed in the same footprint and reduces overall panel size.
- Improved Data Access: Boost productivity with quick, real-time communication between devices.
- Scalability: Easily expand and adapt to future networking needs without major infrastructure changes.
Additionally, a plug and play design enables easy configuration, commissioning and maintenance, ultimately reducing disruptions to production schedules.
