Intended use The COM463BC connects devices via the interfaces BCOM and external BMS. It is operated and configured using the web user interface integrated into the device. Address setting and termination For proper functioning of the COM463BC correct address assignment and termination is of utmost importance. CAUTION Malfunction due to duplicated addresses Assigning addresses that are already used by existing devices in the bus systems concerned may cause...
The COM463BC gateways are integrated into the existing EDP structure like PCs. After connecting to the network and compatible Bender products, all system devices can be accessed from any PC using a web browser. In this way, all important system information is directly available.
2.5.2 BMS interface External BMS bus (BMSe) Individual Bender devices, such as MK800, TM800 or Bender panels can communicate via the external BMS bus (BMSe). The COM463BC can communicate via the external BMS bus (BMSe). The COM463BC cannot parameterise other bus devices on the external bus. The parameters of the COM463BC itself can, however, be set via the LAN connected.
For more detailed information on the topic of BMS, in particular about the wiring of bus devices, please refer to the separate document "BMS bus". You can obtain this document at https://www.bender.de/en/service-support/download-area/ Does the computer network have a DHCP server? If the connected computer network contains a DHCP server, activate the ‘DHCP’...
Mounting, connection and commissioning DANGER Mortal danger and risk of irreparable damage due to moisture! Install device such that it is protected against moisture. CAUTION Pay attention to installation location Operation of the device is only permitted in operating locations with restricted access! This can be installation in a switch cabinet, for example.
Explanation A1/+; A2/- Power supply Plug X1 BMS bus (Bender measuring device interface): Terminals ABMS and BBMS Plug X2 Ethernet connection (RJ45) for the connection to the PC network as well as to BCOM BMS bus terminating resistor switch Make the connection as follows: Remove terminal covers of the device.
Risk of duplicate addresses if BCOM system name is not changed. The factory setting for the system name on all Bender BCOM devices is "SYSTEM". If several systems are established in the same network, there is a risk that addresses will be assigned more than once.
Mounting, connection and commissioning – BCOM devices are detected automatically Check connection Connect the COM46… to the network again. Start the web user interface. All other settings (individual texts, e-mail notifications, …) can now be made. Factory settings for addresses The COM463BC is supplied with the following factory settings: Parameter Factory setting...
