An integrated unitary internet protocol (IP) control system with a rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP), multi-port high speed switch, supervisor, web display and/or an expansion plant input/output (TO) capabilities. The system may have communication modules associated with encrypted file subsystems integrated with an IO network. A resulting secure IP based communication network may be connected between a software framework and the hardware IO network.
