Chapter 7 CIP Inspection
It is common for a vendor to extend a standard to support the
vendor-specific requirements not covered in the open standard. These
extensions are often proprietary, which is why additional preprocessors are
required for vendor-specific protocol extensions.
The CIP generic or open standard rules have been extended by Rockwell
Automation to support Rockwell Automation devices. The CIP extensions
that have been added to the IFW are:
CIP Access Control Policies
CIP Application Categories are recommended as a way to configure CIP rules
in Access Control Policies. CIP Application Categories provide high-level
groupings of various kinds of CIP Applications, to create simpler rules and
policies.
CIP Read ODVA-specified commands that read data from a device.
CIP Unknown CIP command was unable to be categorized to any other CIP application.
CIP Write ODVA-specified commands that write data into a device.
