Architecture C
Presentation
Architecture C consists of I/O and devices distributed over Ethernet (DIO).
The Ethernet DIO devices can be connected to Ethernet ports of the BMEP58
p0p0
CPU 1 or of a ConneXium DRS (Dual Ring Switch) switch.
The available Ethernet DIO devices are:
b Modicon STB distributed I/O 2
b Variable speed drives 3
b Energy supervision 4 and HMI
b Tesys U 5 connected via CANopen to a Modicon STB I/O island and Tesys T 6
motor protection, etc.
Modbus serial link devices can be integrated in architecture C via the
BMXNOM0200 serial link module.
High availability and expanded integration capacity
Architecture C can integrate ConneXium DRS (Dual Ring Switch) switches 7 (1). 15
predened congurations which can be loaded into the switches simplify their
implementation.
The use of these switches provides enhanced capacity for the integration of
devices:
b DIO sub-rings
b DIO clouds
The advantages of this architecture are:
b High availability of the Ethernet DIO devices
Maximum distance between each ConneXium managed switch:
b 100 m/328.084 ft with copper medium
b 2 km/1.243 mi with multimode optical ber
b 16 km/9.942 mi with single mode optical ber medium
(1) Supported ConneXium switches: TCSESM083F23F1, TCSESM063F2CU1,
TCSESM063F2CS1.
