6. X-Connect
With X-Connect functionality, multiple BEM Series modules can be logically connected to
each other without using a central controller (for example, a PC or a server). You can
directly map any input channel of BEM Series I/O module to another output channel BEM
Series I/O module.
For example, if you have one BEM108 which have 8 inputs and four BEM11000 which
each have 2 outputs and in total 8 outputs. In such a case you can map each input of
BEM108 to the eight outputs of 4 BEM11000 without central controller. Also, if you have 8
BEM107 which each have one input and in total 8 inputs, you can also map each of the
input bit to one or more output modules. This mapping is totally free, you can map the
same one input channel to 1 ~ 10 output channels at one output module or multiple output
module.
When one input is mapped to one or more outputs, then if this input is triggered, all the
outputs that it mapped will also be triggered immediately.
6.1 X-Connect Map Setting
Each BEM Series module can support at max 10 I/O mapping. Each I/O mapping is
independent with each other. Each I/O mapping channel need to setup:
(1) Which input channel you want to map;
(2) Which module you want to map, that means IP address of the target module;
(3) Which output channel of target module you want to map;
For example, to setup BEM108 (IP: 192.168.1.105) input channel 1 to BEM11000(IP:
192.168.1.106) output channel 1, all setting needed to be done at BEM108:
(1) Select input channel one in BEM108 by:
Web access URL:
http://192.168.1.105/ setpara[102]=1;
Or Socket command text:
setpara[102]=1;
(2) Select the module you want to map at 192.168.1.106 by:
Web access URL:
http://192.168.1.105/ setpara[133]=192;
Or Socket command text:
setpara[133]=192;
Web access URL:
http://192.168.1.105/ setpara[134]=168;
Or Socket command text:
