Infinet Infinet
TheContinuumbCX1isafeature-rich,yetcost-effectivenetworkcontrollerthatsupportsthe
Infinet family of field controllers.
The controller provides a full function 10/100 Ethernet connection and support for up to 127
Infinetfieldcontrollers,withasecondcommunicationportavailableforamodemconnectionor
a Plain English™ driver. This full function network controller provides global control for all of its
field controllers and a simple easy-to-use web configuration interface. The bCX1 also provides a
TCP/IPinterfaceforcustomwebpages,alongwithSNMPmonitoringandoptionalSNMPalarm
delivery. The bCX1 also has the ability to add expansion I/O for local control via the xP family of
expansion modules.
