Hi all,

I want to know what is CIP in AB.

If I want to calculate the CIP in AB how should I do That?

Reason For asking ---> I am using 1769 PLC and Is's CIP consumption capacity is 32.I have already calculated the CIP of HMI which is 24 and In addition with I am connecting 4 Scanner and Kepware Server on ethernet IP.After doing that communication networks get brakes after some time.SO please let me know.

Thanks.

CIP = Control and Information Protocol, used in Ethernet/IP as a Produced/Consumed-based application layer, which is used on top of TCP and UDP.  It is a strongly object-oriented protocol, with implicit and explicit message connections.  http://www.ab.com/networks/cip_pop.html

Every TCP connection requires at least one CIP connection; there can be multiple CIP connections for every TCP connection.
