Communication Profile Family 2 (commonly known as CIP(TM)2) defines communication profiles based on IEC 61158-2 Type 2, IEC 61158-3-2, IEC 61158-4-2, IEC 61158-5-2, IEC 61158-6-2, and IEC 62026-3. The basic profiles CP 2/1 (ControlNet(TM)3), CP 2/2 (EtherNet/IP(TM)4), and CP 2/3 (DeviceNet(TM)2) are defined in IEC 61784-1 and IEC 61784-2. An additional communication profile (CompoNet(TM)2), also based on CIP(TM), is defined in [14]. This part of IEC 62453 provides information for integrating the CIP(TM) technology into the FDT interface specification (IEC 62453-2). This part of IEC 62453 specifies communication and other services. This specification neither contains the FDT specification nor modifies it.
