1. Introduction
EtherNet/IP™, better known as the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™), was designed for use
in process control and industrial automation applications. CIP was designed to provide consistent
device access to eliminate the need for vendor specific software for configuration and monitoring
of individual devices.
N-Tron® switches with CIP support can be used to communicate with other industrial devices,
such as Rockwell controllers.
1.1 CIP Components
The following CIP components are available with N-Tron series CIP enabled switches.
1.1.1 Electronic Data Sheet (EDS)
An electronic datasheet for each N-Tron Series switch is provided.
In a Rockwell environment EDS files are installed using the “EDS Hardware Installation Tool”.
This allows N-Tron Series switches to be recognized in an RSLinx environment.
1.1.2 CIP Objects
“Objects” are used to organize various information about the switch. There are four types of
objects provided. Three are specified by the ODVA, and one is N-Tron series specific:
• Identity object
• TCP/IP Interface object
• Ethernet Link object
• N-Tron switch object
Standard “services” are associated with objects. Services exist for reading an attribute, setting an
attribute, resetting a device, etc. See references [1] and [2] for specific details.
The following sections describe the attributes associated with each object type, such as attribute
Id number and data format. All attributes can be read, but only some can be set, as shown by the
“Set” column.

1.1.3.1 Explicit Messaging
Explicit messaging refers to a request/response form of communications over a CIP (TCP/IP)
connection. Applications can use explicit messaging, for example, to invoke the “Get All
Attributes” service and read all attributes of the Identity object.
1.1.3.2 I/O Connections
I/O connections are used to send data (grouped in assemblies) between devices
periodically. The interval between sends is the “Requested Packet Interval”, or RPI.
The N-Tron switch assemblies (Input, Output, and Configuration) are defined in the
following table.

In an RSLogix 5000 environment, these assemblies are configured in the “Connection
Parameters” panel of the Generic Ethernet Module. (Note that input and output
assemblies are reversed.) More information is contained in the section for Add-On
Instruction installation.
