Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)

PhaseManager

uses the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) as the communication mechanism between the

FactoryTalk Batch

Server and the

Logix 5000

controller. In

FactoryTalk Batch

, each

Logix 5000

controller is represented as a CIP data server that was added and configured in

FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor

.

Logix5000

CIP data servers require

FactoryTalk® Linx

for the CIP communications from the

FactoryTalk Batch

Server to the controller.

The

FactoryTalk Batch

Server and

Logix Designer

communicate with the

Logix 5000

controller by sending and receiving CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) messages through

FactoryTalk Linx

.
