4. Installation, connection and commissioning
The BMS-Ethernet gateway is normally integrated into existing LAN structures, but can also be oper-
ated via a single PC on the Ethernet side.
4.1 Preliminary considerations
1. Have all the questions as regards the installation been answered by the technician responsible
for the installation?
2. Will the device be operated on the internal or external BMS bus?
Do you know the BMS address to be set?
Can COM465… be operated as the master (BMS address 1)? If, apart from the COM465…, an
alarm indicator and test combination MK800 is connected to the internal bus, the COM465…
must not have the address 1 (master).
You will find more detailed information on the topic of BMS, in particular about the wiring of
bus devices, in the separate document "BMS bus". You can obtain this document at: http://
www.bender.de > Service & support > Download > Operating manuals.
3. Does the computer network have a DHCP server?
Otherwise, the network data allocated by the person responsible for the installation such as
the IP address and subnet mask must be set manually.
4. Ask for the IP address of the NTP server; this is required for setting the time automatically.
5. Are suitable PC hardware and software available for commissioning? -
System requirements (minimum): 1.6 GHz processor/512 MB RAM /
Windows XP/Vista/7/10/web browser.
6. COM465DP only: Is the PROFIBUS DP address to be set known? Is a terminating resistor
required?
If you are familiar with the configuration of computer networks, you can carry
out the connection of the COM465… yourself. Otherwise please contact your
IT administrator!
For initial connection, the basic configuration of the COM465… is to be under-
taken outside the installation, depending on the specific situation.
