Hi everybody,

Ethernet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) primarily uses two port numbers:

    UDP and TCP Port 44818: This port is used for explicit messaging. Explicit messaging in Ethernet/IP is typically request/response in nature, used for device configuration, parameter reading/writing, and other non-real-time communications.

    UDP Port 2222: This port is used for implicit messaging or I/O messaging, which is real-time communication between devices.

It's important to note these port numbers if you're configuring firewalls or network security settings to allow Ethernet/IP communication while maintaining network security.

"Platforms established on an Ethernet and Ethernet/IP (TCP) foundation have become increasingly popular in many sectors of industry. This technology, which is both practical and offers time/place savings, has evolved and branched out over time and has been embedded in third-party platforms as well. Below, we have tried to answer some of the main questions we received from our valued visitors about Ethernet/IP (TCP)."
