Term Definition
BootP BootP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a low-level protocol that provides
configurations to other nodes on a TCP/IP network. BootP
configuration files let you automatically assign IP addresses to an
Ethernet module. You can also obtain subnet masks and gateway
addresses from BootP.
Bridge A node between two similar communication subnets where protocol
translation is minimal.
CIP Control and information protocol, the EtherNet/IP application layer
uses the producer/consumer networking model. In this model one
producer broadcasts (multicasts) the data once to all the consumers.
All consumers see the data simultaneously and may choose whether
to consume (receive) the data or not. Delivery time is consistent, no
matter how many consumers there are.
Connection The communication mechanism from the controller to another
module in the control system, usually used to exchange I/O data.
Consumer A destination device in the CIP networking model. See CIP.
