CIP Safety – “Common Industrial Protocol” – is an architecture designed to provide fail-safe communication between different nodes on a safety network, including safety programmable logic controllers or Safe PLC’s, safety door switches, safety light curtains, and many more.
With most safety networks, you must hookup EACH safety device (which, in the case of a robot, or a machine can mean multiple individual devices hooked up ) back to the safe PLC. Safety involves redundancy, which means that each device will have at least two wires, and installation will be a very time-consuming activity.
Safety over CIP or Simply CIP Safety, on the other hand, can be run over most common network cabling, which in turn mean not creating a need for special hardware requirements , irrespective of the location of the controller . It doesn’t matter whether you have a centralized or decentralized safety system. Since it’s not necessary to wire devices point-to-point, CIP Safety dramatically reduces wiring time and effort.
Furthermore, all communications go through a single standard Ethernet cable, easing it than ever to acquire necessary information for managing complex interactions between humans and machines.
CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP enables smart safety within a Connected Enterprise and provides rich data from the plant floor . Rockwell Automation CIP Modules & Devices are designed to improve productivity and increase efficiency while helping provide personnel safety ,and can help protect complex equipment's.
