Appendix L: Network Automation

Overview
Network automation is a function of the receiver that allows the receiver to send the information from
the receiver to the automation software using a network connection instead of a RS-232 serial
connection to COM3 on the receivers. The receivers only support one method of automation
connection, either RS-232 serial on COM3 or network automation using Conettix IP connection on a
D6600 or D6100IPv6. One method is not a fail over for the other.
Network automation works by programming the receiver to send the events using the
D6686/D6682/D6680 on COM4 of a D6600 or the on-board IP of the D6100IPv6/D6100i. Automation
must be able to receive these events using UDP/IP over the network and able to send the ACK or NAK
back to the receiver. Verify if the automation vendor is compatible with the Bosch network automation
configuration.
Automation Information
The Bosch receivers send events over the network using UDP/IP to the IP Address of the PC that the
automation software is running on and the port # that the automation is listening for the receiver on.
Each receiver should be sending to a unique port # on the automation PC. The automation will
receive each packet and must cache the source IP address and source port # to be used for the ACK
or NAK packet creation. The automation will extract the data portion of the UDP packet and process
the data to create an ACK or NAK as it normally would.
The data portion of the IP packets is identical to the data that is sent over RS-232 serial to
automation. Automation should process the data in the exact same manner as it would when
received over serial.
The automation shall reply to the receiver with the proper ACK or NAK in the data portion of a UDP
packet using the cached source IP Address and port # as the destination IP Address and port #. Here
is an example of this process:
• Link Test from receiver to automation example
o Link Test packet is sent from receiver IP Address 192.168.1.10 Port # 7700 to
automation on IP Address 192.168.1.200 Port #10000.

o Automation accepts the packet, caches the source IP Address and Port #
o Processes the data portion of the packet and generates the ACK/NAK for the
data portion of the reply packet.
o ACK/NAK reply packet is sent from automation IP Address 192.168.1.200 Port
#10000 to receiver IP Address 192.168.1.10 Port #7700.
