Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)

Information About CIP

The Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) is an industrial protocol for industrial automation applications. Previously known as Control and Information Protocol, CIP encompasses a comprehensive suite of messages and services for the collection of manufacturing automation applications - control, safety, synchronization, motion, configuration and information. It is supported by Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA), an organization that supports network technologies based upon CIP such as DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, CIP Safety and CIP Sync. CIP allows users to integrate these manufacturing applications with enterprise-level Ethernet networks and the Internet.

CIP Restrictions

CIP can be enabled on only one VLAN on the switch.
