Introduction
Use this example to establish communications between the M580 rack and an Advantys STBNIC2212 network interface module (NIM).
The STBNIC2212 is Schneider Electric’s EtherNet/IP network interface module for Advantys islands.
Network Topology
The Ethernet network devices used in this configuration include the following: 
1
M580 CPU with DIO scanner service 
2
BMENOC0301/11 Ethernet communication module in slot 3 of the local rack 
3
STBNIC2212 NIM on an Advantys island 
4
PC running Control Expert software 
5
dual-ring switch (DRS)
To re-create this example, use the IP addresses from your own configuration for these items:
NOTE: Control Expert software running in the PC is used to configure the M580 CPU. In this example, the PC is indirectly wired to the CPU’s Ethernet port via the Ethernet switch. Alternatively, you could bypass the switch and directly wire the PC to the CPU’s Modbus ports.
