automation, digital input and output functions, system monitoring, remote data accessing, controlled machinery, and remote power control. The EtherIO 24 IRP module is currently manufactured by Elexol and is manufactured by Unistep technologies. The IRP module is a network based, micro-controller that was designed for communication over Ethernet using the UDP/IP protocol to control input and output signal lines.
