Common network application layers are the key to advanced communication and true network integration. The Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™) allows complete integration of control with information, multiple CIP Networks, and Internet technologies.
Built on a single media-independent platform that provides seamless communication from the plant floor through the enterprise with a scalable and coherent architecture, CIP allows companies to integrate I/O control, device configuration and data collection across multiple networks. This ultimately helps minimize engineering and installation time and costs while maximizing Return on Investment (ROI).
