Their failure to pay such royalties on the due date shall be considered a delay under this License Agreement. publish new editions of specifications for CIP networks and improve EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, CompoNet, ControlNet and CIP Safety technologies. New features extend interoperability and device coverage to a wide range of devices and applications. In addition, ControlNet has been added to the family and a date for the next ODVA “annual” meeting has been set for early 2009. (The last date was in September 2007.) Each network in the CIP family uses the same media-independent protocol – Common Industrial Protocol (CIP). This approach provides benefits to users, including a range of control, configuration, information, security, synchronization, and motion messages and services, as well as topology options for network adaptations to certain application requirements. With the new release, users can expect device suppliers to offer products with:• CIP Safety on DeviceNet and CIP Safety on EtherNet/IP. CIP Safety was introduced in 2005 and is certified in accordance with the safety functional standard IEC 61508 to SIL 3.

The latest edition contains new features to support network functions, often needed in process and SCADA applications, as well as wireless installations. Features include increased granularity in fault detection and greater flexibility in configuring security response times.• Integration of serial modbus devices into CIP networks. Modbus Translation Services for Modbus TCP devices were added to CIP in previous editions in November 2007. A new “Serial Link Object” has been added to add the Modbus translation services supported by CIP. Users and vendors benefit from the ability to integrate Modbus and CIP devices into a single network architecture that maintains seamless bridge and routing.• 18 enhancements in new editions. The specifications are organized as a group of publications called The CIP Networks Library. Each consists of one or more volumes from the CIP Networks library, as follows:EtherNet/IP Specification, consisting of The CIP Networks Library, Volumes One (edition 3.4), Two (edition 1.5) and Seven (edition 1.1) ;D eviceNet Specification, consisting of The CIP Networks Library, Volumes One (Edition 3.4), Three (Edition 1.5) and Seven (Edition 1.1); ControlNet specification. . . .
