From Terminal 2, Rodalies trains run approximately every half hour towards Sants: these are covered by the pass and require no reservation. However, unless you're travelling onwards with an Eurail pass or have an active travel day, it's not worth using the pass: regular tickets for the Rodalies or a ticket for the underground (also from Terminal 1) are relatively cheap, about €5,50.

What would be the name of the airport Barcelona station in the Eurail app, since it does not appear.
It’s just called Aeroport.
The Rodalies de Catalunya services more often than not do not show in the Eurail app due to the Spanish not supplying the timetable data.
To add these routes to your pass you will need to make manual entries for these trains.
+6The airport station is not in the app, you'll have to look up the journey on rodalies.gencat.cat and add it manually. The pass is valid, but you might need to approach staff to get through the access gates.
If you have a long distance train reserved the same day, you can also use that reservation to take suburban Rodalies trains 4 hours before/after your trip with your Renfe reservation.
Thanks the app does not allow me to add a manual Journey, I can't find the option
