A Framework for Implementing Process
Applications using CIP Technologies

Abstract
Recent initiatives within ODVA have facilitated the means by which a Processapplication can be realized.
Enhancements to the technology have allowed the development of solutions toaddress use-cases such as device interoperability, connectivity into hazardous
environments, the presentation of diagnostic information aligned to user
specifications and the integration of legacy technologies.
This paper will provide an overview of which of scenarios can now be met
whilst highlighting areas where further development is needed in order tofacilitate the further adoption of the CIP technologies in process applications

Conclusion
ODVA Technology is ideally suited for many aspects of a process application.
The fundamental function of exchanging information between sensors, controllers and actuators can beachieved using EtherNet/IP.
Features exist that facilitate high availability topologies, full system redundancy, deployment of devices
over long distances, installation of equipment in hazardous environments – all with a feature set thataligns with industry best practices – and is proven in use.
In addition, the integration of older technologies into a CIP based architecture can be achieved with ease.
In use, there are means by which diagnostic information can be presented in a standardized way andthere is a move towards facilitating the exchange of devices without having to make changes to thecontrol application.
There are however some areas where more work is needed, specifically in terms of providing guidanceon achieving process safety, further clarity regarding the use of CIP Security to meet industry standards,
defining a standard way for managing redundancy and in enhancing the way in which EtherNet/IP
devices are configured and managed.
