1.3 Product overview Use the Hach Controller Network Bus (HCNB) to make a network that is compatible with industrial Ethernet-based infrastructures and topologies for real-time data sharing. HCNB is a bi-directional communications protocol used to connect Claros controllers and RTC modules. There is no master hierarchy in HCNB.
Option Description Split One Ethernet port is configured for LAN connectivity and the other Ethernet port is configured for a separate LAN or Modbus TCP. When selected, the Lan port 1 configuration and Lan port 2 configuration settings show on the LAN menu. The two Ethernet ports have different port configurations.
2.3.1 Configuration with Hach Cellular (Telenor) SIM If the controller connects to the internet with the factory installed SIM card and the default Hach data plan (Telenor), do the steps that follow: 1. Push the main menu icon, then select Controller > Connectivity > Cellular.
• Set the HCNB button to on to enable HCNB functionality. 3. Push APPLY. When HCNB is set to on or off, the controller must be restarted. 3.1 HCNB automatic configuration HCNB uses the standard mDNS protocol to automatically find all of the controllers connected to the network segment.
2. Push the main menu icon, then select Controller > Connectivity > Claros. Set to on. 3. Add the controller to the user Claros account. On a web-enabled device open Claros and follow the instructions on the screen. Section 5 Network topologies The topologies that follow are applicable to the SC4500 network configuration. English 9...
