Introduction

Use this example to establish communications between the M580 rack and an Advantys STB NIC 2212 network interface module (NIM).

The STB NIC 2212 is Schneider Electric’s EtherNet/IP network interface module for Advantys islands.

Network Topology

This sample network shows the Ethernet network devices used in this configuration:

1 The M580 CPU (with DIO scanner service) on the local rack is connected to a PC that runs the Control Expert software.

2 The BMENOC0301/11 Ethernet communications module on the local rack is connected to an STB NIC 2212 NIM on an Advantys island.

To re-create this example, use the IP addresses from your own configuration for these items:

• M580 CPU

• PC

• BMENOC0301/11 Ethernet communication module

• STB NIC 2212 network interface module
