STBNIP2311 Standard Dual Port Ethernet Modbus - TCP/IP Network Interface Module, Applications Guide

This book describes the STB NIP 2311 Dual Port Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP network interface module (NIM). The STB NIP 2311 can communicate with a Fieldbus master over Ethernet. The NIM represents the island configuration as a single node on an Ethernet network. This guide includes the NIM’s: - role in an Ethernet network - capabilities as the gateway to the Advantys STB island - external and internal interfaces - flash memory and removable memory - integrated power supply - auto-configuration capability - configuration data storage - island bus scanning functionality - data exchange capabilities - diagnostic messages - specifications. The dual-port configuration has two important advantages: - supports a daisy chain topology - provides two paths to the network in a daisy chain loop
