is a trademark of ODVA, Inc.
CIP™ (Common Industrial Protocol) encompasses a comprehensive suite of messages and services
for a variety of manufacturing automation applications, including control, safety, synchronization,
motion, configuration and information. CIP provides users with unified communication architecture
throughout the manufacturing enterprise.

2.1 Connections and Wiring
The VACON® 100 Family AC drives support 10/100Mb speeds in both Full and Half-duplex modes.
The drive must be connected to the Ethernet network with a shielded CAT-5e cable. Use a so called
crossover cable (at least CAT-5e cable with STP, Shielded Twisted Pair) if you want to connect the
drive directly to the master appliance.
Use only industrial standard components in the network and avoid complex structures to minimize
the length of response time and the amount of incorrect dispatches.
