The WIZ550io Module & W5500 Chip

Free WIZnet WIZ550io Ethernet controller modules were available while supplies lasted. There are currently no more free modules available.

WIZnet's WIZ550io auto configurable Ethernet controller module includes a W5500, transformer, & RJ-45.

WIZ550io Ethernet controller module

WIZnet’s WIZ550io is an ideal module for rapidly developing ’Net-enabled systems. It is an auto-configurable Ethernet controller module that includes the W5500 (TCP/IP-hard-wired chip and PHY embedded), a transformer, and an RJ-45 connector.

The module has a unique, embedded real MAC address and auto network configuration capability.

When powered on, the WIZ550io initializes itself with the MAC and default IP address and can be pinged from your computer. Thus, you don’t need to write MAC and network information such as an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
