1.1.1 Recommended PC Performance and Capacity

Recommended performance and capacity of the PCs for different node types can be
found through http://www.abb.com/product/us/9AAC171278.aspx.

If PU410 is used, a separate Network interface is required in the personal computer.

1.1.2 Software Requirements

McAfee VirusScan® Enterprise and Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) have been
tested and are qualified virus scanners for use with Control Builder A.

The user should make sure that the installation procedure completes without exposing
the computers to malware or malicious network traffic of any sort.

This can only be done by limiting the communication to the system and by performing
separate virus scanning of any portable media or disks before connecting them to the
system nodes during the installation. After completing the system installation and
configuration (post installation) it is recommended to perform a full virus scan of all
computers in the system.

Since the PU410 unit includes a supervised fan it is recommended to check the fan and
vacuum clean the unit from time to time.

If a fan problem is detected the red fault LED will be illuminated and the unit will shut
down. The red fault LED will still be illuminated until the unit is reset, even if the fan
problem disappears.

The red fault LED can illuminate for other problems as well.

Connection to AC 400

Connect PU410 to AC 400 controller directly by using CBA port or use the MB300 ports
to connect via MB300.

Connection to Engineering Station

The PU410 unit has two ports called PC 1 and 2 for connection to the Engineering Station.
Only one port is necessary for the communication but if redundancy is wanted both ports
can be used if RNRP is configured.

• Always use shielded Cat 5e (or better) twisted pair cross-over cables to reduce
electric noise disturbances. The maximum cable length is 30m but keep cable length
as short as possible.

• The default IP addresses of PU410 are for the PC 1 port 172.16.168.50 and for the

• The recommended IP address for the Network Interface Card, NIC, in the Engineering
Station is 172.16.168.1 with subnet mask 255.255.252.0 when using single cable.

Figure 1.26: Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties

• The default IP address of PU410 and identical IP address of NIC can be used in
multiple Engineering Stations, as 172.16.168.x and 172.17.168.x are ‘local’ IP
addresses.

• When using dual cables, the IP address of the additional NIC in the Engineering
Station is recommended to be 172.17.168.1 with subnet mask 255.255.252.0. The
status of the dual connection can be viewed in the RNRP network event monitor,
provided that RNRP is installed in Engineering Station.

• When the connection between Engineering Station and PU410 is lost, e.g. due to
communication problem or power loss in PU410, it will be detected in the Engineering
Station after four seconds if RNRP is configured.

• The PU410 unit communicates with 100Mbit/s on the PC 1 and 2 ports. It is
recommended to configure the network interface card in the Engineering Station to
100Mbit/s full duplex.

Figure 1.27: Example of NIC Configuration

• RNRP can be used to supervise the communication between the Engineering Station
and PU410. The detection time for lost communication will increase from 4s to at
least 30s if RNRP is not configured correctly. No additional RNRP configuration is
required when the default implicit configuration of RNRP is used.

• If the default implicit configuration of RNRP is modified, an explicit configuration of
RNRP must be added for the PU410 connection. Configure "Network area" to 10
and "Network area local" to 1 if the default IP addresses for PU410 are used.

• The IP address and subnet mask of PU410 can be modified by a tool, but this is
required only if Network area 10 (NetId 172.16.40.0) is already used in the
Engineering Station (refer to Modify IP address of PU410 on page 41). RNRP
requires the IP address of the first port of PU410 to always start with 172.16 (in
PU410 FW version 1.0.1.0 and earlier). The default IP addresses of PU410 are
restored by pressing and holding down the reset switch of PU410 for about 20
seconds until the yellow IP LED is lit.

Modify IP address of PU410

The IP address of PU410 shall be modified only if NetId 172.16.40.0 is already used
in Engineering Station.

Execute the following steps to modify the IP address of PU410.

1. Start the ManagementTool.exe located in
C:\AdvaBNT\ONB\32r1\Driver PU410.

2. Select the IP Config view and click Get.

3. Modify the IP settings and click Set.

The modified IP address will be effective when the PU410 is reset, in the Reset view or
by pressing the reset switch of PU410 unit.

After modifying the IP address of PU410, the Target IP address of Management Tool
must be modified in the Settings menu to get contact again. The Target IP address
is shown at the bottom left in the Management Tool.

A registry setting must be modified in the Engineering Station to match the modified IP
address of PU410 (see Figure 8). Right click the IP address, select Modify from the
context menu, and enter the Primary IP address of PU410. This modification is effective
when the Engineering Station is restarted.
