Predefined Configuration File Name
C1_RIOMainRing_RIOSubRing_DIOCloudsVx.xx.cfg, where
Vx.xx references the version number of the file.
Use of this Predefined Configuration
One of the many advantages of using the M580 architecture is to put some or all of your RIO drops on sub-rings. The RIO drops on the sub-rings are controlled by the PLC on the main ring the same way as RIO drops connected directly to the main ring. The sub-ring architecture lets you extend the distance between consecutive RIO drops and isolate the devices and cables on a sub-ring from those on the main ring and on other sub-rings.
Devices Supported and Restricted in this Predefined Configuration
The predefined configuration described here is for a TCSESM083F23F1 ConneXium extended managed switch, which has 8 copper connection ports and no fiber port connections.
An RIO sub-ring can contain only approved Schneider Electric RIO modules, for example an RIO adapter in an M580 RIO drop.
Distributed equipment, such as TeSys T motor devices and islands of STB devices, can be connected to switch ports that are not reserved for main ring and RIO sub-ring connections. Each cloud uses only one DRS port connection. You cannot use this predefined configuration to connect distributed equipment directly on the sub-ring.
Predefined Port Connections
Use the 2 top ports (shown as 1 and 2 below) for connections on the main ring (A). Use ports 5 and 6 to connect the main ring to an RIO sub-ring (B).
Ports 3, 4, and 7 are configured for connecting DIO clouds to the network. Port 8 is reserved for
port mirroring (to monitor the status of ports you previously selected in the switch’s port mirror web page).
NOTE: The default configuration of port 8 has port mirroring disabled.
Example:
A
DRS connections to the main ring
B
RIO sub-ring connection

Except when enabling or disabling ports that are not connected to either a main ring or a sub-ring, do not adjust the configuration parameters or alter the port usage in the predefined configuration file. Changing the configuration parameters or the port assignments can compromise the effectiveness and accuracy of the switch, as well as the performance of the RIO network.
Port mirroring is disabled by default. If you enable port mirroring, you can select the ports on which you want to analyze traffic as the source ports. Ports 1-7 can be selected as source ports. Port 8 is the destination port, and it cannot be changed.
