Setting Up Your Network

Overview

This sample network includes the following hardware and software:

a controller rack with:
- BMX CPS 2000, 100/240 VAC power supply
- BMX P34 20302 controller
- BMX NOC 0401.2 Ethernet communication module
a remote STB Advantys island with:
- STB NIP 2212 Modbus TCP network interface module
- STB PDT 3100 power distribution module
- STB DDI 3230 2 pt digital input module
- STB DDO 3200 2 pt digital output module
- STB DDI 3420 4 pt digital input module
- STB DDO 3410 4 pt digital output module
- STB DDI 3610 6 pt digital input module
- STB DDO 3600 6 pt digital output module
- STB AVI 1270 2 pt analog input module
- STB AVO 1250 2 pt analog output module
a PC running both Unity Pro (version 5.0 or higher) and Advantys configuration software (version 5.0 or higher)

NOTE: Unity Pro is the former name of Control Expert for version 13.1 or earlier.
an Ethernet managed switch that is connected to the both the controller and island by means of twisted pair Ethernet cable and RJ45 connectors.

Network Topology

The Ethernet network devices used in this configuration include the following:

To re-create this example:

use the IP addresses for your own configuration’s:
- PC
- BMX NOC 0401.2 Ethernet communication module
- STB NIP 2212 network interface module
check wiring

NOTE: Control Expert software running in the PC is used to configure the BMX P34 20302 controller. 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 either the CPU’s Modbus or USB ports.
