Specification for the Instrument & Industrial Control Protocol

1999016

The scope of this document is to define a lightweight communication protocol for instrumentation and industrial devices using the high-speed IEEE1394-1995 serial bus. This document defines structures and efficient, flow-controlled mechanisms to transfer data and command/control sequences to devices. This document specifies the discovery of nodes that support the protocol.

It describes the set up and maintenance of the connection.

It further specifies the discovery of memory mapped 1394 devices that serve as instruments or industrial devices. It defines an interrupt notification mechanism for memory mapped devices.

The scope of the baseline document does not extend to defining the content of data or command/control sequences.

The following documents are anticipated to make use of this baseline document:

1. IICP488. Specifies the use of IICP to send IEEE488 (GPIB) messages and control sequences.
2. A document (not named yet) on using IICP to communicate to a 1394-GPIB bridge device.
