This functionality is available through a firmware update, eliminating the need for new hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The product adds EtherNet\/IP support to MR-J5, making them compatible with existing controllers. Pre-configured instructions and compatibility with systems such as ControlLogix and CompactLogix help reduce setup time and support easier configuration.
