REVISED 2016-01-192.5 Switch_Parameters ParameterThe AOI requests additional information from the switch as needed by a faceplate display (andwhen started). This includes the CIP Identity object, the CIP TCP/IP object, an instance of theCIP Ethernet Link object, and the NTRON Switch object.The following RSLogix 5000 screenshot shows a top level view of some of the AOI“Switch_Parameters” structure:N228Params.Generic_Inputs is a generic view of the assembly data from a switch.2.6 Explicit Messaging OptionsTo direct the AOI to gather this information (via explicit messaging) for other purposes(example: not using faceplates), use the following members of the N228Params.Control tag:Name Data Type DescriptionSelected_Port INTUse this member to read Ethernet Link object for one port. Toread more than one port, use Read_Port_Mask. Set by thefaceplate. Port data is copied to theUDT_NTRON_CIP_DATA_v0 data type.Request_Data BOOL0 - explicit messaging is disabled; 1 - explicit messaging isenabledRead_Port_Mask DINT Set bit n to read ethernet link object for port n+1Explicit_Messaging_Timer_Reset DINTUsed to control time between each MSG call to read CIPIdentity object, TCPIP object, N-TRON object, and selectedEthernet Link objects. Minimum is 200 ms. Default is 1000ms.Sample ladder logic rungs are available that show how to control explicit messaging.2.7 TroubleshootingModule Fault (Code 16#0315) Connection Request Error: Invalid segment type.This error occurs when the assembly information specified for the Generic Ethernet Module doesnot match the assembly information on the N-Tron switch.N-Tron® Series 700/7000 Switch CIP™ Manual -22-
