Common industrial protocol (CIP) safety software
Molex
Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) Safety is a protocol extension developed by the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA). The CIP Safety protocol offers a set of highly-integrated safety services which leverage the underlying communications stacks of the standard CIP networks to transport data from a source to a destination. CIP Safety allows end-users to implement safety systems in a more integrated, cost-effective manner.
The Molex CIP Safety Software Kit (also called Stack) is offered as a tool kit, with the stack provided as modular "C" code that is pre-tested. The software allows a manufacturer of intelligent industrial products to implement the necessary safety-application layer that enables products to comply with the CIP Safety specification (Edition 2.1) from ODVA. A recent update of the CIP Safety protocol extends support for EtherNet/IP*, in addition to previously supported DeviceNet* applications. The CIP Safety Stack is recognized under the Rockwell Automation Value-Added Design Partner program.
The CIP Safety Stack is approved by TUV for SIL3 applications and it has been conformance tested using the ODVA Conformance Test. Molex can support customers that request assistance with design implementation and/or guidance through TUV approval.
