Chapter 8 CIP Object
8-3
8.1 Object List
The AH Motion CPU supports Micro SD cards. Users can purchase products which meet specifications. The
specifications for the SD cards supported by the AH Motion CPUs, and the usage of the SD cards are described in this
chapter.
CIP requires objects (groups of related data and behavior associated with this data) to describe a device, how it functions,
communicates and its unique identity. Objects can be further defined to Class (a set of objects representing the same type
of system), Instance (‘copy’ of an object) and Attribute (data values). An object instance/class has attributes, providing
services and implementing behavior. Instance 0 contains basic information of every object, e.g. version and length.
Instance 1~N contains parameters for creating connections. Users can obtain product parameters from the supported
service code via objects.
The supported EtherNet/IP objects are listed below. Refer to the section 8.2 for the data type definition. Refer to the
section 8.3~8.12 for object contents. Refer to chapter 5 for object reading/writing.

Identity Object
It provides identification of general information about
the device.

Message Router
Object
It provides a messaging connection point through

behaviours in EtherNet/IP devices to treat traffic
streams with different relative priorities or other
delivery characteristics.
