Networking and Interfaces
The panel controller has
– two CAN interfaces (CAN1/CAN2) for networking (bus or loop topology)
– two signal inputs (IN1/IN2)
– Ethernet, USB and RS232 interfaces
Note the maximum cable length of 3 m for connection to the USB and RS232 interface (see
Figure 4.45, Page 94).
When connecting to a building management system (BIS) via an OPC server and Ethernet
100BaseTXin multiple building networks, you must clarify with the network administrator
whether
 the network is designed for multiple building connections (e. g. there must be no
technical interference due to differences in grounding potential);
 the bandwidth of the bus users is sufficient for the network.
Information about address setting and configuration in the network can be found in section
Section Addressing and Settings in the Network, page 99.
