Chapter 2 Get Started
Default Global Macro Once you complete Express Setup, the switch runs a default global macro
(ab-global). This macro configures the switch for industrial automation
applications that use the EtherNet/IP protocol. This macro sets many
parameters, including these major settings:
• Enable IGMP snooping and querier
• Enable CIP
• Enables alarms, SYSLOG, and SNMP notifications
• Enables Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP), BPDU Guard, BPDU Filter, and
loop guard
• Configure Quality of Service (QoS) settings and classify CIP, PTP, and
other traffic (does not apply to switches with lite firmware revisions)
If you do not run Express Setup to initialize the switch, the global macro does
not run. You can use the CLI, described on
page 70 , to run the global macro.
RSLinx Software and
Network Who Support The EtherNet/IP network interface also supports the List Identity command
that is used by CIP-based network tools, such as the RSLinx® software RSWho
function. RSWho enables you to locate and identify your switch on the
network by using the electronic data sheet (EDS) files.
To access the RSWho function, from the RSLinx software toolbar, choose
Communications > RSWho.
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) Files
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files are text files that are used by network
configuration tools, such as RSNetWorx™ for EtherNet/IP software. EDS files
help you identify products and commission them on a network. EDS files
contain details about the readable and configurable parameters of the device.
They also provide information about the I/O connections the device supports
and the content of the associated data structures.
If you are using the switch in a system without a Rockwell Automation Logix
controller, you cannot use the AOP supplied with Logix controllers. You must
use information from the EDS files to configure the I/O connection.
IMPORTANT The default QoS setting applied by the default global macro assigns the
same priority to traffic for CIP and traffic for Integrated Motion on the
EtherNet/IP network applications. However, you can assign a higher
priority to motion traffic by manually applying optional QoS macros after
you run Express Setup. For more information, see
page 248 .
IMPORTANT After using the RSWho function, if you access the switch and view the
Ethernet link counters, you see the counts for only the first port (Port Gi1/1).
