Introduction

The BMENOR2200H module has a dual-bus connector that supports both Ethernet and X Bus communications.

Use these instructions to install the module in a single slot on a BMEXBP Ethernet backplane.

Before You Begin

Take these steps before you insert the module on the rack:

  • Remove the protective cap from the module connector on the rack.

  • Determine the cyber security operating mode for the module and configure the appropriate cyber security mode with the rotary switch before you install the module in the slot. The selected mode is implemented only after a power-up of the module.

Backplane Considerations

Install the module only on the local rack. You can install and configure a maximum of four communication modules (including BMENOR2200H modules) on a single local rack (depending on the selected controller).

This table shows the maximum number of BMENOR2200H modules you can install in the local rack with respect to specific controller references:

NOTE: Refer to the controller selection table in the Modicon M580 Standalone, System Planning Guide for Frequently Used Architectures. Also refer to Modicon M580 – Hot Standby, System Planning Guide for Frequently Used Architectures; Modicon M580, Safety System Planning Guide (Related Documents).

Install the module in a dual-bus slot on one of the following Ethernet backplanes:

Rack and Slot Restrictions

The module occupies a single dual-bus slot. Observe these restrictions:

Rack

Slot

Instruction

all racks

0, 1

These slots do not support the BMENOR2200H module.
NOTE: These slots are reserved for the controller module.

BMEXBP1200(H)

2, 8, 10, 11

These X Bus-only slots do not support the Ethernet functionality of the dual-bus BMENOR2200H module.

BMEXBP1002(H)

2, 8

extended racks

You cannot install the dual-bus BMENOR2200H module in an extended rack.

NOTE: Extended racks do not have Ethernet ports.

RIO drops

You cannot install the dual-bus BMENOR2200H module in an RIO drop.

Cyber Security Switch Considerations

Follow these steps every time you insert a BMENOR2200H module on a powered rack:

Step

Action

1

Set the rotary switch on the module to the Cybersecurity Reset position.

2

Insert the module in the rack to power it up.

3

Remove the module from the rack to power it down.

4

Set the rotary switch on the module to the Advanced or Standard position.

5

Reinsert the module in the rack to power it up.

Installing the Module on the Rack

Mount the module in a single slot on the backplane:

Step

Action

1

Turn off the power supply to the rack.

2

Remove the protective cover from the module interface on the rack.

3

Configure the cyber security level for the module with the rotary switch according to the cyber security considerations.

4

Notice sub-steps a. and b. in the graphic:

a.

Insert the locating pins on the bottom of the module into the corresponding slots in the rack.

b.

Use the locating pins as a hinge and pivot the module until it is flush with the rack. (The twin connector on the back of the module inserts into the connectors on the rack.)

NOTE: Do not insert the BMENOR2200H module in slot 0 or 1 in the local rack. Those slots are reserved for the controller.
NOTE: Do not insert the BMENOR2200H module into X-bus only slot.

5

Tighten the retaining screw to hold the module in place on the rack:

NOTE: Tightening torque: 0.4...1.5 Nm (0.30...1.10 lbf-ft).

6

Insert the SD card if you intend to use the data logging feature.

Grounding Considerations

This section describes the wiring guidelines and best practices to be respected when installing and cabling the BMENOR2200H Ethernet Communications Module.

1 For additional information, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition), Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control and to NEMA ICS 7.1 (latest edition), Safety Standards for Construction and Guide for Selection, Installation and Operation of Adjustable-Speed Drive Systems or their equivalent governing your particular location.

The following rules must be applied when cabling the Ethernet Communications module:

  • Communication wiring must be kept separate from the power wiring. Route these two types of wiring in separate cable ducting.

  • Verify that the operational conditions and environment are within the values cited in the present document and the other user guides associated with this equipment.

  • Use twisted pair, shielded (ferrule) cables with the proper rating for your installation/environment.

If you do not use proper, shielded (ferrule) cables for these connections, electromagnetic interference can cause signal degradation. Degraded signals can cause the controller or other attached modules and equipment to perform in an unintended manner.

1 Multipoint grounding is permissible if connections are made to an equipotential ground plane dimensioned to help avoid cable shield damage in the event of power system short-circuit currents.

Use fiber-optic cable to establish a communications link when it is not possible to equalize the potential between the two grounds.

NOTE: Refer to the ground protection information provided in the Electrical installation guide and Control Panel Technical Guide, How to protect a machine from malfunctions due to electromagnetic disturbance (Related Documents).

Replacing a Module

Any module on the rack can be hot-swapped at any time with another module with compatible firmware. The replacement module obtains its operating parameters over the backplane connection from the controller. The transfer occurs immediately at the next cycle to the device.

When you switch from Advanced to Standard operations or vice-versa, reset the module by setting the rotary switch to the Cybersecurity Reset position to implement a clean configuration file and clear the security settings (including the user name and password).

Export your cyber security configuration before you replace the module. When the rotary switch is set to the factory Cybersecurity Reset mode, the entire cyber secure configuration is erased.

Replace the module:

Step

Action

1

Remove the module from the rack by reversing the above steps for installing the module.

NOTE: Because this is a hot-swappable module, it is not necessary to power down the rack to remove the module.

2

Set the rotary switch on the replacement module to the Cybersecurity Reset position.

3

Insert the replacement module in the rack to power it up.

4

Remove the replacement module from the rack to power it down.

5

Set the rotary switch on the replacement module to the Advanced or Standard position.

6

Reinsert the replacement module in the rack to power it up.

NOTE: The replacement module does not automatically recover the security settings from the web-based configuration. The security configuration file is stored locally in the module. Export this file to create a backup configuration and import a stored cyber security configuration file to new module through the web page.
NOTE: The SD memory card contains the CSV files for the independent data logging service. When data logging is enabled, therefore, backup the data logging tables from the SD card before you replace the module.
