Quickstart steps to run the demo
The demo is configured for a 10-port Stratix 8000 switch. The Quickstart instructions are not
meant to be a complete step-by-step guide, but instead a high-level indication of the steps
required. More details instructions and explanations are found later in this manual.
Please note that a working knowledge of RSLogix 5000 and FactoryTalk View is highly recommended.
To setup the demo:
1. Install the Stratix 8000 Add-On-Profile on your machine.
2. Open Stratix_10port_example.ACD and modify to match your controller type and slot number.
3. Add the 10 port switch to your I/O tree and name it Stratix1.
You have to name it that for the demo because thats what everything is configured to look at.
4. Set the switchs IP address and set the data connection.
5. In MainTask:MainProgram:MainRoutine, update the message path on the AOI by browsing.

6. Save and download to the controller.
7. Select either the SE or ME view demo application and load to your machine.
8. Make sure the switch is visible in RSLinx Enterprise and set the shortcut Controller to point to your
controller.
9. Run your HMI application!

Install: Stratix 8000 Add-On-Profile

This manual assumes that your switch has been configured and optimized for EtherNet/IP using
Express Setup.

Setting up the Add-On-Profile

Open RS Logix 5000 and create a new application, Select the controller type and where
appropriate set the chassis size and correct slot number. If you are using a ControlLogix
processor, add an ENBT / EN2T card to the configuration.

When you have done so, or if you are using a CompactLogix processor, right click on the
Ethernet network and select New Module

Browse to Communications

9/30/2008 Stratix 8000 AOI & Global Object Manual Page 8 of 42


and scroll down until you find the Stratix 8000 Switch family. Select the appropriate module
and click OK:



The New Module window will appear.
The next steps will show you how to provide a name and the IP address for your switch. Note
that by default, the module definition is configured to be an Input Data connection. You should
change this to Data by clicking on the Change button.
9/30/2008 Stratix 8000 AOI & Global Object Manual Page 9 of 42

1. Add Switch to my I/O tree and name it Switch1

2. Set the Switch IP address and change the Connection Type to Data.
Password is either rockwell or write



When the following window opens, confirm the password:
9/30/2008 Stratix 8000 AOI & Global Object Manual Page 10 of 42



You will return to the main module creation dialog. Click on the Connection tab and note that the
RPI is set to a default value of 1000ms. Since the CIP interface to a switch is likely to be used
for diagnostic purposes rather than active control, an update once a second is sufficient.


Click OK. You will now see the switch visible in the controller I/O tree.

The switch is functioning properly as a device when there is no yellow X on the I/O tree.

Install: FactoryTalk View Faceplates
This section describes how to import the faceplate files into an existing View SE or View ME
application.
There is no need to follow this section if you use the Stratix 8000 SE or ME demo HMI
application.
The faceplate global object files contains 2 objects the faceplate object (shown in the graphic
below on the left) and an overview read-only graphic that shows switch status (shown in the
graphic below on the right).

The global object contains 2 tag placeholders that need to be set at runtime by passing a
parameter file using /P or by passing tags using /T with the Display command.
#1 = complete path to the Switch_Parameters parameter of the AOI.

#2 = RSLinx shortcut name defined in your View application (without brackets)
In the demo application, youll see that #1 and #2 are defined as such:

9/30/2008 Stratix 8000 AOI & Global Object Manual Page 20 of 42


Adding the FactoryTalk View Objects to an Application

1. Drag the .ggfx global object file to your FactoryTalk View application.

Drag the SE object into your SE application.
Drag the ME object into your ME application.

2. You will now need a new screen which uses the global object as a template. Drag the .gfx
screen file to your FactoryTalk View application.

The popStratix8000.gfx screen uses the respective SE or ME global object as a template.
The Main.gfx file is not necessary, but it shows you how to call the faceplate popStratix8000
from a button.
Using View ME
In View ME, you will create a button on your screen that has a command similar to the following
defined as a release action:

Youll need to create a parameter file as well called Stratix8000.

9/30/2008 Stratix 8000 AOI & Global Object Manual Page 21 of 42

The contents of the parameter file should look like this:

#1 = complete path to the Switch_Parameters parameter of the AOI and
#2 = RSLinx shortcut name defined in your View application (without brackets)

Using View SE
In View SE, you will create a button on your screen that has a command
similar to the following defined as a release action:

Display popStratix8000 /T::[Controller]Program:MainProgram.stratix1,Controller
where ::[Controller]Program:MainProgram.stratix1 is the runtime substitution for #1 and
Controller is the substitution for #2.
Modify the command with your controller shortcut name and your switch parameters tag!
You may also use the /P option and configure a parameter file as in View ME.

Stratix 8000 AOI Extended Documentation

Introduction

The Faceplate for the Stratix 8000 family of switches provides a mechanism for users to obtain diagnostic information
from hardware for display in a FactoryTalk View project. Functionality has been implemented in two parts an add-on
instruction (AOI) which is integrated into a controller file and a global object which is used in the Factory Talk Project.

Operating Philosophy

The Stratix 8000 AOI package consists of a number of variants, each corresponding to a variant of the Stratix 8000
family. This owes to the fact that the input structure for each variant is different. The principal functions of the AOI are
to copy data from the input image into a user-defined data type (UDT) and to periodically poll appropriate CIP objects
as required by the users selection. Similarly, where output control is permitted, the AOI copies the port enable /
disable options selected by the user to the output image of the AOI.

In contrast, there is one global object for the complete range of variants. The global object uses a value set in the AOI
to determine the base unit and expansion module variants for display. The global object consists of a number of
layered screens. Each is displayed depending on the users selection.

The operating principle behind the code is to send an explicit message to the appropriate CIP object in the device
whenever this is requested by the user. Where possible, the Get Attribute All service is used to read all attributes from
an object. Since vendor-specific attributes cannot be read by the get attribute all service, a second message
instruction, configured to use the Get Attribute Single service. The selection of a particular screen sets the tag
Switch_Parameters.HMI.Set_FaceplateAnimation to a unique value. This value in turn is used to determine which CIP
objects are polled. This is done using a tag called MessageNumber. Each value of the MessageNumber tag
corresponds to the polling of a different CIP object. This is achieved by setting a value for class, instance and attribute
for each value of MessageNumber and calling the appropriate MSG instruction. On completion of the MSG, the data
is copied into the relevant part of the UDT.

Software Description

The following section provides a rung-by-rung description of the code. Rung numbers refer to the 10-port variant,
called 1783MS10.

Rung 0: A placeholder rung to facilitate inclusion of the AOI description

Rung 1: This rung initialises the add-on instruction on the first scan. The operations completed are setting the pre-set
values of the MessageTimer, InitialTimer and Message Counter. Changing the value of the MessageTimer preset will
vary the frequency of sending an explicit message to the switch. By default, this is set to 1 second. For a faster poll,
this value should be reduced. Conversely, for a slower poll, the value should be increased. MessageCounter defines
the number of messages which can be sent to the switch. This value should not be changed unless data from addition
CIP objects or attributes is required. InitialTimer introduces a delay in sending the first message. This is designed to
avoid multiple messages being sent at the same time at startup. Associated with this is the Startup bit which is latched
on during the first scan, and unlatched later in the program. In rung 1, the initial values for the trend axes are also
defined. By default, the temperature and utilisation values are set to a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100. These
can be adjusted when the Faceplate is running. Also switched on (latched) in this rung is the bit used to determine
whether the port enable / disable button is visible in the FactoryTalk View project. By default, the button is visible. To
make it invisible, this operand should be changed from Latch (OTL) to Unlatch (OTU).

Rung 2: Sets the InitialTimer running if the Startup bit is set

Rung 3: If the value of the initial timer is greater that 250mS, unlatch the startup bit and set the InitialDelay bit to
enable the first explicit message

Rung 4: Copies the input image to a temporary array. This step is needed as the inputs are only available as BOOLs.
In copying this data, each BOOL is mapped to a DINT for ease of data handling elsewhere in the AOI.

Rung 5: Copies each of the DINTs in the input array to the Input part of the Switch UDT. The
Switch_Parameters.Inputs part of this UDT has a structure which is common for all members of the Stratix 8000
family which allows the same graphics to be used for all variants. This rung ensures that all inputs are mapped to
the correct location.

9/30/2008 Stratix 8000 AOI & Global Object Manual Page 33 of 42

Rung 6: This rung reads each ports utilisation value and maps it the UDT corresponding to that ports Ethernet Link
object. This serves two purposes it reduces the need to send an explicit message to read the bandwidth from
attribute 100 of the Ethernet Link object and also allows the global object to read all of the display data to be read
from the UDT directly.

Rung 7: The screens in the global object are defined such that the screens themselves have a value between 0 and
9, with the respective help screens having a value 10+ that for the screen itself. With the current implementation of
the global object, only screens 0 to 6 require any explicit messaging. Rung 7 controls a MessageTimer the preset
for which is set on the first scan to poll CIP objects at a regular interval. The MessageTimer however will only count
up if a screen is selected which requires the display of data obtained by explicit messaging. The timer will also only
count up if the two MSG instructions used in the AOI are not currently enabled. The DN bit of the timer is included in
the rung to ensure that it self-resets. The counter is also dependent on the InitialDelay bit being set.

Rung 8: Rung 8 triggers a counter which increments whenever the MessageTimer is complete. This provides a value
which increments every second. The counter is self-resetting on completion.

Rung 9: Stratix 8000 switches have multiple instances of the Ethernet Link object. Information such as port speed,
duplex status and port statistics are obtained from the appropropriate instance of the Ethernet Link object. The
instance to be polled is determined by the port selected by the user. Rung 9 checks that the input from the user is
non-zero and copies the value to the Selected_EthernetLink_Instance variable.

Rung 10: Rung 10 determines which objects are to be polled depending on the selected screens. This is set up as
follows:

Set_FaceplateAnimation MessageNumber(s)
0 10
2 4
5
6
7

9
10
3 4

7 10

Rung 11: Resets the Message Counter when necessary

Rung 12: Triggers the Get Attribute All Message whenever the MessageTimer is done. The class, attribute and
instance parameters are set up as follows:

For all objects except for initial message: Attribute = 0

Rung 13: Triggers Get Attribute Single Message whenever the MessageTimer is done. The class, attribute and
instance parameters are set up as follows:

Message Number Class / Object Instance Attribute Data (Main)
5 246 Ethernet

The results of the message operation are copied into the Storage SINT array.

Rung 14 & Rung 15: Generate a bit when the respective message is done. These rungs allow the respective bit to be
used in subsequent rungs instead of using the respective .DN bit and a ONS elsewhere in the program.

Rung 16: Copies the result of the Get Attribute All message into the appropriate part of the UDT. The value of the
MessageNumber determines to which variable the results are copied. Rung 16 translates the results corresponding to
messages 1 to 4.

Rung 17: Copies the results of the Get Attribute Single message into the appropriate part of the UDT. The value of the
MessageNumber determines to which variable the results are copied. Rung 17 translates the results corresponding to
messages 5 to 10.

Rung 18: Copies the disabled_ports value obtained by message 10 to HMI.Val_Disabled_Ports for display

Rung 19: When the switch information screen is selected, the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway are read
from the TCP/IP object. This rung converts this information into dotted-decimal from by calling the
IP_Address_to_String AOI for each conversion. The result is placed in the HMI part of the UDT.

Rungs 20 and 21: The trend object allows the operator to change the axes for the two parameters which can be
displayed: temperature and port utilisation. These two runs copy the values which have been set by the user to the
variables used by the trend object for display.

Rung 22: Copies port settings and counters for the selected port for display. The information copied here includes
speed and duplex settings for the port, the applied smartport as well as the port counters themselves.

Rung 23: If the trend object is selected (animation 6) copy the value of the temperature read from the switch
parameter object to the tag read by the trend object.

Rung 24: Copies the switch hostname and uptime to the HMI part of the UDT for display. This rung does a
comparison between the current value in the UDT and that obtained in the TCPIP object. If there is a difference, the
destination string is cleaned before the new data is copied. This ensures that the FTView screen displays the
information correctly.

Rung 25: Captures whenever the port disable button is pressed and increments the value stored in the
button_counter array. Each element of the array corresponds to one of the ports. The appropriate element is
determined by the value of HMI.Set_SelectedPort

Rung 26: If the stored value is 1, latch on the output bit for the selected port in order to disable it.

Rung 27: If the stored value is 0, unlatch the output bit for the selected port in order to enable it.

Rung 28: Monitor the value of the button counter and reset it to 0 if it is 2 ensures that the only possible values are 0
and 1

Rung 29: Map the value of button_counter for the selected port to the tag HMI.Val_EnableButton to ensure that the
button displays enable when the port is disabled and disable when the port is enabled.

Rung 30: Copies the output word used internally by the port control rungs to the actual output

Rungs 31 & 32: Map the values set on the trend configuration screen to the axes values used in the trend object
depending on the button selected by the user. Clicking utilization sets the value of Set_TrendNextPenOper to 0
whereas clicking temperature sets this value to 1

Rung 33: Maps the error bits of the messages to the error bit of the AOI to provide visual indication of an error
condition in the AOI.
