Parameters for CIP Producer and Consumer Varaibles
Each production variable and consumption variable for CIP over Ethernet/IP
communications has a set of parameters as detailed in the tables.
Note: A maximum of 128 producer and 128 consumer variables can be defined.
Table 18: Parameters for Production Variables
Description Value(s) Default Remarks
Maximum number
of connections 1 to 10 5 The maximum number of simultaneous
consumers of the particular variable (†)
Note: (†) The AADvance controller rejects any CIP requests to connect to a
produced variable beyond the maximum number of connections (255). Do not set the
number of connections higher than necessary because each connection uses resources
from a limited pool.

other punctuation
