The Balluff EIP Modules are Ethernet/IP modules. Normally they are used as remote IO for a master plc.  
Your module supports I/O link sensors in addition to the standard binary IO ports, but the network protocol is still Ethernet/IP.  
Maybe @pturmel can tell you if his Ethernet/IP module [http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/snappy-user-interfaces-with-the-ethernet-ip-module/12617](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/snappy-user-interfaces-with-the-ethernet-ip-module/12617) will work with your device.
