1. EtherNet/IP Profile Switch Step by Step

2. 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

3. 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 to
3.1 release (June) will add support for MACH, PowerMICE and Octopus families

4. 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

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

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

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

8. 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.***

9. 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.

10. Step 3 – using RSLogix5000 sample files
Sample files are available at (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

11. 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)

12. 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

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

14. 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]

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

16. Step 3 - continued
Configure the GetMessage as shown below

17. Step 3 - continued
Configure the SetMessage as shown below

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

19. 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

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

21. 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

22. 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

23. 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

24. 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

25. 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

26. 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.

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

28. 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).

29. 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.

30. 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.

31. 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.
