Banner iVu Plus BCR Gen2 Series - Industrial Protocols Troubleshooting

• If you are running several overlapping subnets, you may want to consult your IT department to ensure that
the routing for the network is configured correctly
• If you are trying to access the camera through a gateway or a VPN router, verify that these devices are
configured such that they allow traffic from the iVu BCR device to reach the destination device
14.10.3 Industrial Protocols Troubleshooting
Modbus/TCP Protocol
Modbus/TCP protocol relies on the fundamental TCP/IP connectivity to establish connections and transport data. After you
have verified Networking and TCP/IP connectivity, you should have little or no problems establishing a Modbus/TCP
connection.
iVu BCR supports one Modbus/TCP connection from a single client, and will reject additional connection requests.
Prior to attempting to establish the Modbus/TCP connection, configure your device and teach it about the iVu BCR device.
Tell the device the IP address of the iVu BCR device that you have previously configured. Configuration steps vary for each
device. Consult the appropriate device manual for these steps.
The iVu BCR Modbus/TCP port is
fixed at port number 502.
After you have established a Modbus/TCP connection, verify that the iVu BCR has accepted. Go to System >
Communications > Industrial Ethernet > Status , and view the connection status.

If you experience issues accessing data, see Modbus/TCP (p. 118) for the Modbus/TCP register maps supported by the iVu
BCR, and consult the Industrial Protocols Log. The log, when configured to Detailed Logging mode, provides a record of
the individual register access sequences and records any errors.

and PCCC Protocols
EtherNet/IP and PCCC protocols rely on Common Industrial Protocol (CIP

protocol to establish communications and
exchange data. CIP protocol, in turn, utilizes TCP/IP.
EtherNet/IP implements Input/Output (I/O) messaging. I/O messaging allows two devices, the iVu BCR and the PLC, to
continuously synchronize data sets between each other. These data sets are called Input and Output Assemblies. The iVu
BCR device consumes PLC output assemblies, and produces PLC input assemblies. This exchange occurs continuously, at
the rate
specified by the RPI (Requested Packet Interval) value.
