Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)

Common Industrial Protocol

The Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) is an industrial protocol that supports a suite of messages and services for manufacturing automation applications, including control, safety, synchronization, motion, configuration, and information.

CIP is supported by the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA), which endorses network technologies that utilize CIP. These include:

  • DeviceNet

  • EtherNet/IP

  • CIP Safety

  • CIP Sync.

CIP enables users to integrate these manufacturing applications with enterprise-level Ethernet networks and the Internet.

CIP Restrictions

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

Enabling CIP

Before you begin

By default, CIP is not enabled.

Procedure

Step 1

Use the configure terminal command to enter the global configuration mode.

Example:

Device# configure terminal

Step 2

Use the cip security {password password | window timeout value

Example:

Device(config)# cip security password *******

Step 3

Use the interface vlan vlan-id command to create an interface and enter interface configuration mode.

Example:

Device(config)# interface vlan 20

Step 4

Use the cip enable command to enable CIP on the interface.

Example:

Device(config-if)# cip enable

Step 5

Use the end command to return to privileged EXEC mode.

Example:

Device(config-if)# end

Step 6

Use the show running-config to verify the entries.

Example:

Device# show running-config

Step 7

(Optional) Use the copy running-config startup-config command to save changes in the configuration.

Example:

Device# copy running-config startup-config

Step 8

(Optional) Use the show cip {connection| faults| file| miscellaneous| object| security | session |status} command to display information about the CIP subsystem.

Example:

Device# show cip status

Step 9

(Optional) Use the debug cip {assembly| connection manager| dlr| errors| event| file | io |packet| request| response| |security| session |socket} to enable debugging of the CIP subsystem.
