Ethernet communication exists from the server to the controller. This enhances flexibility based upon
open technology. Ethernet connectivity exists on the supervisory network and as a means to connect
external devices (such as PLC5s, etc.). It includes switched network topology and 10 MB TCP/IP
support. The Honeywell module, TC-CEN021, connects via a 10BaseT Ethernet Cable connector.
The above diagram depicts a basic Ethernet topology implementation. Key Configuration Rules include:
•
A Switched Ethernet Supervisory (Server to Controller) topology is supported. While this is not an Experion
PKS-supplied item, the TPN Bridge switch, TP-TPNBS1 (TPN Bridge Dual Ethernet Switch) is recommended.
•
Non-Redundant C200 Controllers are used with an Ethernet Supervisory Control Network, where the Ethernet
module is in the Controller Rack. However, you can use the Ethernet Module with Redundant C200
Controllers for exchange peer-to-peer when it's located in the I/O Rack.
•
Support for ControlNet and Ethernet to different C200 Controllers simultaneously from the same Server is not
supported.
•
A downlink ControlNet segment (not Ethernet) is used to support remote I/O. An Ethernet Module, located in
an I/O rack, can be used to Exchange peer-to-peer with external devices.
•
Experion PKS Station Nodes may reside on the same Ethernet segment as the C200 Controllers for small
systems when the total number of Stations (not counting the Server) plus C200 Controllers totals four (4) or
less, e.g. 1 Station + 3 C200s; or 2 Stations + 2 C200s, etc.
•
The Supervisory Network segment does not support a Redundant Ethernet configuration.
•
The PCIC ControlNet PC card is not needed. Instead, an Ethernet NIC card is installed in the PC. A separate
PC Ethernet Interface card is required between the Server and the Stations.
•
TC-CEN021 is a single wide module that, when used in the Supervisory Network, is placed in slot zero.
•
RSLinx OEM version 2.4 (EP-IRSL24) is used for each Base Software License (EP-DBASE1 + EP-DPRxxx)
and Redundant Server.
•
Fieldbus (FIMs) are not supported on an Experion PKS system that uses Ethernet as the Supervisory Process
Control Network.
