Setting Up Your Network

Overview

This sample network includes the following hardware and software:

a controller rack with:
- TSX PSY 2600 M, 115/230 VAC power supply
- TSX P57 4634, 14A controller
- TSX ETC 100, 10/100 Base-T EtherNet/IP communication module
a remote STB Advantys island with:
- STB NIC 2212 EtherNet/IP 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 Control Expert (version 4.0 or higher) and Advantys configuration software (version 4.0 or higher)
an Ethernet switch connected to the above EtherNet/IP devices with twisted pair Ethernet cable and RJ45 connectors (It is strongly recommended you select a managed switch that supports the IGMP protocol.)

Network Topology

The network example topology looks like this:

To re-create this example, be sure to:

use the IP addresses for your own configuration’s:
- PC
- TSX ETC 100 EtherNet/IP communication module
- STB NIC 2212 EtherNet/IP network interface module
check all wiring

NOTE: Control Expert software running in the PC is used to configure the TSX P57 60 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 another one of the CPU’s ports.
