I rarely need to add a network card to the drives we install... very rarely. But my sales-guy said he needs to quote a network-connected ACH580 drive to a Compact Logix PLC. He presented me with an ABB quote of both the FEIP card and the FENA card. Out of reflex, I was about to answer him the FEIP card, but then I remembered that the last time I connected 3 ACS880s to a Compact Logix, I used FENA cards (2019). I can't remember why I chose the Ethernet cards over the EIP. You guys see this choice much more than I do. Do you have a preference? I'm guessing that since it's Rockwell, you'll say Ethernet I/P. Is that the case? Your thoughts?
