Configuration Guide (AADvance Controller)
Note: The CIP Protocol is intended to allow AADvance users to exchange data
between AADvance controllers and the Allen Bradley Logix family controllers, using
produce/consume messaging. Produce/Consume messaging does not support
downloading to or for monitoring AADvance controllers. It is not recommended to
use the CIP network to exchange data between AADvance controllers unless this is
exclusively for non-safety data. The SNCP network should be used for Safety related
data exchange between AADvance Controllers (see SNCP and variable Bindings in this
publication).
Define a CIP Network
Before you use CIP over Ethernet/IP, you have to define a CIP network. You will
specify a single IP address for each connection between a Configuration and a CIP
network. Do the following:
1) Select the Hardware Architecture view.
2) Go to the main menu and choose Insert  Network.

The Network – Properties dialog opens.
3) Set the Network to CIP, click OK.
