CIP Generic
CIP stands for “Control & Information Protocol”. CIP is a newer and
more versatile protocol than PCCC. It is an open protocol that is
supported by newer Allen-Bradley controllers and third-party
products.
CIP messaging is the native messaging format for DeviceNet. All
DeviceNet devices are compliant with CIP messaging. The MicroLogix
1500 1764-LRP processor (Series C) has an enhanced message
instruction that provides simple, easy to use CIP messaging.
Selecting CIP Generic configures the message instruction to
communicate with DeviceNet devices that do not support PCCC
messaging. When CIP Generic is chosen, you will notice that a
number of message parameters change and many new ones become
available depending upon the service selected.
