1 Introduction
EtherNet/IP™, better known as the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™), was designed
for use in process control and industrial automation applications. CIP was designed to
provide consistent device access to eliminate the need for vendor specific software for
configuration and monitoring of individual devices.
N-TRON switches with CIP support can be used to communicate with other industrial
devices, such as Rockwell controllers.
2 CIP Components
The following CIP components are available with N-TRON CIP enabled switches.
2.1 Electronic Data Sheet (EDS)
An electronic datasheet for each N-TRON switch is provided.
In a Rockwell environment EDS files are installed using the “EDS Hardware Installation
Tool”. This allows N-TRON switches to be recognized in an RSLinx environment.
2.2 CIP Objects
“Objects” are used to organize various information about the switch. There are four types
of objects provided. Three are specified by the ODVA, and one is N-TRON specific:
Identity object
TCP/IP Interface object
Ethernet Link object
N-TRON switch object
Standard “services” are associated with objects. Services exist for reading an attribute,
setting an attribute, resetting a device, etc. See references [1] and [2] for specific details.
The following sections describe the attributes associated with each object type, such as
attribute Id number and data format. All attributes can be read, but only some can be set,
as shown by the “Set” column.

2.3 CIP Services
The table following is a summary of the supported services as defined by CIP Vol 1,
Appendix A: Explicit Messaging Services [1].
2.4 Accessing Data
2.4.1 Explicit Messaging
Explicit messaging refers to a request/response form of communications over a CIP
(TCP/IP) connection. Applications can use explicit messaging, for example, to invoke the
“Get All Attributes” service and read all attributes of the Identity object.
2.4.2 I/O Connections
I/O connections are used to send data (grouped in assemblies) between devices
periodically. The interval between sends is the “Requested Packet Interval”, or
RPI.
The N-TRON switch assemblies (Input, Output, and Configuration) are defined in
the following table.

N-TRON 700-Series Switch
FactoryTalk View ME/SE Faceplate Displays
Software installation prerequisites
3. FactoryTalk View Studio – ME/SE version 5 or later
4. N-TRON switch with firmware version 3 or later
Summary of Faceplate installation steps
1. create shortcut to PLC
2. add global objects to your project
3. add local messages
4. add images
5. import HMI tags
6. create faceplate display
7. configure display startup macro
8. configure display parameter file
9. optionally add composite switch image to display
10. optionally add specific switch image to display
In the instructions below, “ME” refers to FactoryTalk View ME (Machine Edition) and
“SE” refers to FactoryTalk View SE (Site Edition).
5.1 Configuration of FactoryTalk View Faceplate Displays
Extract all files from the zip file to your desktop or some other folder.
Start with an existing FactoryTalk View ME/SE application.
1. Configure a shortcut to the PLC that is running the NTRON AOI. Double click
Communications Setup.
In the screenshot following, the shortcut is named PLC.
Revision February 18, 2011 Page 42 of 61
CIP Manual N-TRON Corp.
Click the “Yes” button and if ME, click the “Copy from Design to Runtime” button.
Revision February 18, 2011 Page 43 of 61
CIP Manual N-TRON Corp.
2. Import graphics
Revision February 18, 2011 Page 44 of 61
CIP Manual N-TRON Corp.
For SE, use the FactoryTalk_View_SE folder in the above dialog.
These global objects should appear in the Explorer window:
3. Import local messages
Revision February 18, 2011 Page 45 of 61
CIP Manual N-TRON Corp.
Select the folder (FactoryTalk_View_ME\Display_export\Install\local) containing the
local message files (.loc). Import all NTRON*.loc files. The Explorer window should
show these files:
4. Import images.
Revision February 18, 2011 Page 46 of 61
CIP Manual N-TRON Corp.
Select the folder (FactoryTalk_View_ME\Display_export\Install\images) containing the
image files (.bmp). Import all NTRON*.bmp files. The Explorer window should show
several new files:
5. Import tags using the Tag Import and Export Wizard. Select the NTRON-Tags.CSV to
import (FactoryTalk_View_ME\Display_export\Install\tags). The result should be these
tags:
6. To access the faceplate displays, create a display using the global object
NTRON_Display. (File > New > Display. Select all objects in the NTRON_Display
global object and paste them into the new display. Save the new display.)
Configure a macro for opening your display. Here is the ME form for this example:
Tag from screenshot: {[PLC]N228Params.Control.HMI[0].Display_Mode}
Here is the SE form:
Revision February 18, 2011 Page 47 of 61
CIP Manual N-TRON Corp.
Tag from screenshot: &{[PLC]N228Params.Control.HMI[0].Display_Mode} = 1;
In the macro definition (and later in the parameter file), the shortcut “PLC” was created
earlier. The other important piece is “N228Params”, which is the name of the
Switch_Parameters tag created for the NTRON_SWITCH AOI in your RSLogix project.
Example:
In the Display Settings for the NTRON_Display (open the NTRON_Display display, Edit
> Display Settings) click the Behavior panel and assign the newly created macro as the
startup macro.

8. Click the General tab and change Display Type and Size. Here is the ME form:
Revision February 18, 2011 Page 49 of 61
CIP Manual N-TRON Corp.
Here is the SE form:
On the display where you wish to show the faceplate, create a Goto Display button.
Create a parameter file that will be associated with the button.
Revision February 18, 2011 Page 50 of 61
CIP Manual N-TRON Corp.
Substitute your shortcut for “PLC” and the name of your Switch_Parameters for
N228Params, in the parameter file.
Assign a display and parameter file to the Goto Display button. Here is the ME form:
Here is the SE form:
Revision February 18, 2011 Page 51 of 61
CIP Manual N-TRON Corp.
You can also display an image of an NTRON switch using the global object
NTRON_graphic. When used, define Global Object Parameter #1 as follows:
The NTRON_graphic global object is a composite of several N-TRON switches. Due to
the number of switches, and the tags used for each switch, you may run into the limit for
maximum tags allowed on a display.
To work around this limitation, use individual global objects for each switch. These are
imported by using the BatchImport_Global_NTRON_Switches.xml import file. The
global object names contain the switch name, such as NTRON_708TX. Setup Global
Object Parameter #1 as described for the NTRON_graphic object.
For more information on the displays, including screenshots, see the Faceplate Quick
Reference.
