Start-up via an external network
Application
The device can also be operated without an external Segment Controller or data logger. In this case however, the internal
logging options are limited and log data are only available for a certain period of time.
If the device is to be integrated into an existing network, then the configuration shown in the following figure should be
used. It is immaterial whether port LAN1 or LAN2 is used.
Required components
A notebook that is logged into the external network.
Ethernet cable (uncrossed patch cable)
Establishing a connection to the KACO device
F
The device must be opened in order to connect the Ethernet cable! The device has 3 Ethernet ports that can be used.
These are located on the printed-circuit board marked LP400. In this application only one of the 2 neighbouring
shielded Ethernet ports (marked LAN1 and LAN2) should be used. These ports have an internal switch and, in their fac-
tory default state, they expect to receive an IP address from a DHCP server.
»
CAUTION! Please do not under any circumstances connect the Ethernet cable to the unshielded RJ45 slot marked
J200 as this typically causes damage to the printed circuit board!
1 Use a functioning Ethernet slot on the external network end.
2 It may be necessary to take additional IT configuration measures in the external network so that the device is as-
signed an IP address.
3 Next, launch the browser on the terminal device and enter the IP address of the device:
ð
http://<IP address of the device>
ð
The IP address can either be requested from the network administrator or determined using an IP scanner tool.
4 There is also the option of addressing the device using its host name. In its factory default state, the host name con-
sists of a combination of the device derivative designation and the serial number, as shown below:
<Device designation serial number>, so e.g. bp125-125TL01234567 or bp87-0-87-0TL01234567
6
ð
5 If this is unsuccessful, please use the full domain name:
http://bp125-125TL01234567<ExternalNetworkDomainName> or http://bp87-0-87-0TL01234567<ExternalNetwork-
DomainName>

Starting up a plant segment
The following figure provides an example of the structure of a plant segment consisting of a Segment Controller and a cer-
tain number of KACO devices with string combiner (SC) combinations.

If the device serial number features a “.” dot, then this “.” dot is replaced with a “-” dash in the host name as, accord-
ing to RFC229, host names must not contain any “.” dots.
For local host names, only characters in the range [a-z], [A-Z] and the minus character are permitted.
