AV4 BSMS System
34 / 234 H172203_1_001
Firmware:
• BsmsCheckDownload.txt contains the information about all required firmware versions for
all installed sub units in a BSMS
• ELCB firmware provides all functions for the ELCB (mainly lock control), and in addition
the control logic and driver functions for all the installed sub units.
• FPGA-Design (field downloadable) is required for L-TRX, SCB20, AV4 GAB/2, SPB(-E),
and VPSB-DC.
• Additional controller software is installed on the various VT-Adapters, BSCU type cooling
units and digital nitrogen level sensors, which are also connected over the BFB (Bruker
Field Bus
1
).
• Additional Programmable Logic Controller program is installed on the SampleCase
Controller.
4.4 Service Web
All operational functions for NMR application are provided by the CORBA interface, as
described before. An additional set of operations is reserved for service engineers, e. g. for
downloading new firmware, calibration and diagnostics. These functions are only available on
the Service Web, which is the successor of the former BSMS tool. It is no longer necessary to
use a specific client software for service access (any Web browser can be used), the new
concept provides a graphical user interface and is therefore much easier and comprehensive.
4.4.1 IP Address of the AV4 BSMS
The actual IP address and port number for accessing the Service Web can be obtained by
running TopSpin and typing ha. After scanning of the spectrometer network, which takes
several seconds, all connected IP devices are listed in a dialog (e. g. the BSMS on
http://149.239.99.9:10000/bsms.html).
If it is not possible to reach the AV4 BSMS by the Web browser (e. g. if a non-TopSpin DHCP
server has assigned an unknown IP address to the AV4 BSMS) then the AV4 BSMS can be
contacted on the fixed service IP Address 10.236.99.20 that is always available. In this case,
the service computer must be directly connected to the ELCB Ethernet port or to an internal
device port of the AV4 Router and the network interface must be configured accordingly.
For further details about the AV4 ETHERNET ROUTER please refer to the technical manual
AQS System for AVANCE NEO.

This peripheral bus has been introduced 2010 together with the BSVT system. Connectors can be
found on BSMS/2 VPSB, AV4 VPSB-DC and SPB-E boards.
