Introduction

This topic describes the use of the BMENOR2200H module in a standalone M580 system.

Connection Media

Make connections to the BMENOR2200H module with a (ferrule) cable:

• upstream connection: Connect the module to a SCADA system through the DNP3, IEC60870-5-101, or IEC60870-5-104 protocols. (A Modbus TCP connection is another option.)

• downstream connection: Connect the module to remote server devices and stations through the DNP3, IEC60870-5-101, or IEC60870-5-104 protocols.

Ethernet Connections

The connection to an Ethernet cable can be through the control ports on the front of the BMENOR2200H or through another port on the backplane if it is enabled:

• flat networks: For these networks, the Ethernet network connections to the BMENOR2200H are achieved through the M580 service port or a BMENOC0301/11 or BMENOS0300 module.

• isolated networks: For these networks, the Ethernet network connections are achieved through control ports directly. Control ports are physically isolated with backplane port (by 2 MAC address). If the control ports are not enabled, logic isolated network could also be achieved through a BMENOC0321 module with the IP forwarding. The installation of multiple M580+BMENOR2200H+BMENOC0321 modules required the use of a static routing table for the upstream system.
