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 prof iles 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?@ is defined in [14]. This part of IEC ISA-62453 provides information for integrating the CIP? technology into the FDT interface specification (IEC ISA-62453-2 [103.00.02]). This part of IEC ISA-62453 specifies communication and other services. This specification neither contains the FDT specification nor modifies it.
