Monitor CIP Status Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) is an application layer messaging protocol
used by various industrial automation and control devices to communicate as part
of a control system. CIP is the application layer for the EtherNet/IP network.
Stratix switches contain an EtherNet/IP server that enables the switch to be part
of the industrial automation and control system for basic management and
monitoring.
The CIP Status window displays information about CIP status (Overview field)
and statistics (Request Details field) since the switch was last powered on, was
restarted, or the counters were last reset.
To troubleshoot an issue, reset the CIP counters, and see if the counters show that
the issue still exists.
IMPORTANT Except for Active Multicast Groups, all other categories are related to the CIP
server in the switch, that is, pertaining to CIP traffic specifically directed to the
switch as a CIP target device. They do not refer to CIP (EtherNet/IP) traffic
flowing through the switch among various CIP controllers, HMI devices,
configuration tools, or other CIP target devices, such as drives, I/O modules,
motor starters, sensors, and valves.
