Figure 10 shows a CIP safety system with seven different subnets where each
subnet has one unique SNN.
Figure 10 - CIP Safety Example with More Than One SNN
The SNN can be software-assigned (time-based) or user-assigned (manual).
These two formats of the SNN are described in the following sections.
Time-based Safety Network Number
If the time-based format is selected, the SNN value is the date and time when
the number was generated, according to the computer running the
configuration software.
