Connecting Ethernet Loops - Bosch FPA-5000 Networking Manual

Modular fire panel
Switches for connecting the OPC server and the sub-loops must be programmed separately
Program the IP address and redundancy settings of the Ethernet switches, see Settings on
switch, page 39. For this topology, the fault outputs of the switch only have to be used if you
have designed the power supply for the switch redundantly or there is a switch-to-switch
connection, see Ethernet switch, page 51.
Make sure that the RSTP settings in the panel controllers, in FSP-5000-RPS and in the
Ethernet switch are identical.
Notice!
Change the RSTP priority for the RSTP switches that connect the loops, as they belong to the
backbone.
OPC server must be programmed separately
Program the IP address, network nodes, network group and RSN, see OPC servers, page 57.
The OPC server uses port 25000 as standard.
Make sure that the settings in the RPS programming software and OPC server are identical.

Connecting Ethernet loops

Notice!
This topology requires additional settings for all RSTP switches in the backbone. More in-
depth knowledge of networks is therefore required.

The OPC server may be connected via an Ethernet cable (copper) or fiber optic cable.
