EtherNet/IP™ is one of the fastest growing digital communication protocols in industrial automation, continuing to gain wider acceptance as companies look to transition from fieldbus to ethernet networks.

Recognizing this trend, Brooks Instrument has worked closely with key customers and automation system suppliers to bring the EtherNet/IP™ protocol to its bioprocess-leading SLA5800 Series mass flow controllers. In 2018, Brooks announced availability of SLA5800 with EtherNet/IP™ with significant value-added alarm and diagnostic features.

Our instrumentation group has been working with Brooks Instrument for years and can help your team determine which products and solutions are best for your operation.
