EtherNet/IP Profile Switch Step by Step

Agenda Commercial Information Integrating the EtherNet/IP Profile Switch Assign IP address Enable EtherNet/IP and register EDS files Using RSLogix5000 sample files (v16 required) Using RSView Studio sample files

Commercial Information The EtherNet/IP Profile is available in the 3.0 firmware release for all Open Rail switches (RS20/30/40 and MS20/30) This functionality allows the switch to be integrated directly into the RSLogix5000 I/O tree There is no additional cost Switches already in the field can be flashed to this firmware level (firmware can be found at ftp.hirschmann-usa.com/firmware or send e-mail to firmware@hirschmann-usa.com) 3.1 release (June) will add support for MACH, PowerMICE and Octopus families

Integrating the EtherNet/IP Profile Switch Step 1 – Assigning IP Address to a new switch Use HiDiscovery to set the switch’s IP address & subnet mask HiDiscovery is on the product CD or can be downloaded at ftp.hirschmann-usa.com/software

Step 2 – Enable EtherNet/IP and register EDS files Connect to the switch with your web browser – answer Yes when prompted

Step 2 - continued Login as “Admin”, default password is “private”

Step 2 - continued Expand the “Advanced” menu item, and select “Industrial Protocols”

Step 2 - continued Click the box to enable EtherNet/IP Click the Set button at the bottom of the page *** Be sure to go to the Load/Save screen, and Save your configuration to make this change permanent.***

Step 2 - continued Click on the Download EDS File button (the EDS file is generated dynamically based on the switch’s product code, then transferred to your PC) Register the EDS file using the EDS Hardware Installation Tool (Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > RSLinx Tools > EDS Hardware Installation Tool) Alternately, all EDS files are included on the product CD. You can register them all at once from there.

Step 3 – using RSLogix5000 sample files Sample files are available at http://samplecode.rockwellautomation.com (search Title – Hirschmann) or at ftp.hirschmann-usa.com/EthernetIP Version 16 is required for this file – it takes advantage of the new Add-On Instruction functionality Version 16 is NOT required for the EtherNet/IP functionality of the switch to work – only to use these sample files

Step 3 - continued You can use the base sample file or import the Add-On Instruction from the XML file into an existing project (right click on Add-On Instructions, and import)

Step 3 - continued Add a Generic Ethernet module to the I/O tree Enter the IP address Set the Connection Parameters as shown below Set the RPI to 100

Step 3 - continued Click the Add-On tab on the Instruction Bar Add the Hirschmann Instruction to your ladder program

Step 3 - continued Enter a name for this switch in the “Hirschmann_Switch” field (datatype = Hirschmann_Switch) Map the Switch_Inputs and Switch_Output as shown below: Switch_Inputs – Name of the switch created:I.Data Switch_Output – Name of the switch created:O.Data[0] Enter & create tags as shown below: Switch_Parameters (Datatype = Switch_All) GetMessage (Datatype = Message) Set Message (Datatype = Message) Storage fields (Datatype = SINT[200]

Step 3 - continued Your instruction should now look something similar to this

Step 3 - continued Configure the GetMessage as shown below

Step 3 - continued Configure the SetMessage as shown below

Step 3 - continued For both Message instructions, click on the Communication tab, then click browse Select the appropriate switch from the I/O tree

Step 4 – Using RSView Studio sample files Open your RSView Studio application Make sure the communication path is set up to your PLC Right click on Global Objects – then select Import and Export Click No – do not backup displays, then click next Select Multiple Displays Import File, then click next Click on the … to open the file browser and point to the file called BatchImport_Hirschmann Switch.xml Make sure that create new objects is selected Click Finish

Step 4 - continued Your project tree should now show a number of new global objects

RSLinx Enterprise shortcut to the PLC Step 4 - continued Right click on Parameters and select New Enter an expression similar to the one shown below [Switch_Text] is the RSLinx Enterprise shortcut to the PLC My RailSwitchParams is the name of the tag in the Switch Parameters field of the RSLogix5000 Add-On Instruction Tag name from RSLogix5000 RSLinx Enterprise shortcut to the PLC

Step 4 - continued Save and close the parameter file Creating the graphics You will have 1 overview screen for each switch in your application You only need to create the “Pop Up” screens once, they will represent the appropriate information using the Parameter files Create the 5 “pop up” displays Diagnostics Configure IGMP Configure Ports Switch Information Port Stats

Step 4 - continued To create a Switch Overview Display: Select the appropriate Global Object for your particular switch Edit the 5 buttons so that the appropriate Parameter file is used for the Pop Up screens Save the file (but leave it open) Create a new display On the Global Object file, click Edit > Select All, then drag the objects to your new display Save your new display Make sure to include the Parameter file in the button that calls the Switch Overview screen

Step 4 - continued Before running your project, you will need to create 2 HMI memory tags Name: PLC_Port_Number and PC_Port_Number Type: Analog Initial Value: 0 These tags are used on the Ports screen You will get error messages if they are not created

Overview Screen for an RS20-16 Step 4 - continued The result should look similar to the following screenshots HINT: The Parameter files don’t initialize in Test Run mode – you have to actually run the project to test your screens Overview Screen for an RS20-16

Step 4 - continued Diagnostics Screen Read Only Provides information found on the Diagnostics screen in the web interface. Some of these alarms are disabled by default.

Switch Information Screen Step 4 - continued Switch Information Screen Read Only Provides information found on the Main screen in the web interface.

Step 4 - continued IGMP Settings Screen Read/Write Provides information found on the Multicast screen in the web interface. Users can Enable/Disable IGMP snooping and querier mode and set the IGMP protocol version (default is 2).

Step 4 - continued Port Settings Screen Read/Write Users can Enable/Disable each port of the switch individually. If you click the “PLC Port” button, you can enter a port number that cannot be disabled.

Port Statistics Screen Step 4 - continued Port Statistics Screen Read Only Provides information on an individual port. Click on the Port button to select the port that you want information on.

Step 4 - continued Disclaimer Please keep in mind that these are sample files – provided to make it easier for users to integrate the Hirschmann EtherNet/IP Profile Switches into their applications. Careful thought should be given as to how to integrate these files. It is recommended that you password protect or disable some screens to prevent unauthorized access. The applications should be thoroughly tested and verified before being deployed in a production environment.
