INSTALLING THE BWBC2 – QUICK START
The BWBC2 (like the BWBC4) is an IP based controller and does need to be connected to a Local Area Network
(LAN). The BWBC2 is shipped from the factory in DHCP mode and should be able to obtain an IP address as long
as there is a DHCP server available on the network.
NOTE:
BWBC2 programming and functionality require Project Editor Software version 1.9 or Higher.
1) Add the BWBC2 controller to a new or existing project.
a.
Connect the BWBC2 to your LAN via the Ethernet Port and power from the included power adapter.
i.
During start-up the Red Status LED on the front of the unit will blink in a “Heartbeat” pattern until all
processes are loaded and running. (This takes about 45 seconds.)
b.
Start Project Editor Software and open an existing project or create a new one. Right-click on the BWBC2’s
node of the Project and select “Add Controller from Network”. In the resulting Controller Discovery Window,
select the IP address for the BWBC2 and select “Add to Project”.
2) Modify properties for the newly added BWBC2 via right-click on the BC2:BWCBC2 node in the project.
a.
Network Settings
i.
Give the BWBC2 a meaningful name for the project. Perhaps the client’s name or the location.
