CIP Generic

Control & Information Protocol (CIP) is a newer and more versatile protocol
than PCCC. It is an open protocol that is supported by newer Allen-Bradley
controllers and third-party products.

CIP messaging is the native messaging format for the DeviceNet network. All
DeviceNet devices are compliant with CIP messaging. The MicroLogix 1500
1764-LRP processor (series C) has an enhanced message instruction that
provides simple, easy to use CIP messaging.

Selecting CIP Generic configures the message instruction to communicate
with DeviceNet devices that do not support PCCC messaging. When CIP
Generic is chosen, you will notice that a number of message parameters
change and many new ones become available depending upon the service
selected.
