Communication Profile Family 2 (commonly known as CIP™1) defines communication profiles based on IEC 61158-2 Type 2, IEC 61158-3-2, IEC 61158-4-2, IEC 61158-5-2, IEC 61158-6-2, and IEC 62026-3. The basic profiles CP 2/1 (ControlNet™2), CP 2/2 (EtherNet/IP™3), and CP 2/3 (DeviceNet™1) are defined in IEC 61784-1 and IEC 61784-2. An additional communication profile (CompoNet™1), also based on CIP™.
This part of IEC 62453 provides information for integrating the CIP™ technology into the FDT interface specification (IEC 62453-2). This part of IEC 62453 specifies communication and other services. This specification neither contains the FDT specification nor modifies it.
