Introduction
Overview
Abstract
The Experion system supports supervisory level communications over an Ethernet
network using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite of
protocols.
While Ethernet TCP/IP is used worldwide in general industrial and office environments,
it has only recently been introduced as a viable communications media for control
components on the plant floor due to performance enhancements in switching
technology.
The Experion Supervisory Ethernet network requires switches to minimize the number of
data collisions and deferred transmissions.
It may not be appropriate to use Ethernet communications in high-

speed control applications.
Be sure your control application can tolerate occasional fluctuations

in inter-message timing and message response time.

Introduction
Overview
Functional Overview and Guidelines

Figure 1 shows a basic Experion system topology using a Supervisory Ethernet network.
The Experion system still provides the same configuration, control, and monitor
functions as it does with a Supervisory ControlNet network. However, the following
guidelines are unique to Supervisory Ethernet networks.
• Use only non-redundant Controllers - Controller redundancy is not supported.
• The same Experion Server cannot support simultaneous ControlNet and Ethernet
communications to different C200 Controllers.
• Must use a downlink ControlNet module to support remote I/O over a ControlNet
segment.
• Redundant Ethernet media is not supported.

Introduction
Getting Started
Component Description Vendor

RSLinx components
* You may achieve comparable results with other compatible products. We recommend
using managed type network switches, since they provide diagnostic capability.
Determining wiring requirements

You will need category 3 and 5 unshielded twisted pair cable to connect the Ethernet
module and NIC to switch ports. Be sure the cable is appropriate for your planned
routing method and meets both national and local electrical and fire codes.
We suggest that you work with a cable manufacturer to select the wiring that meets your
particular installation requirements. If you have access to the Internet, you can visit the
Belden Wire and Cable Company web site at http://www.belden.com/ for helpful
technical data on a wide variety of wire and cable types.
Locating reference documentation

The main source for Experion documentation is the online Knowledge Builder. It is
provided on a separate CD with the Experion software. Once this documentation is
loaded, you can access it through the Control Builder application or directly through the
Windows Program menu in the Performance Support Tools folder.
You should also have the manufacturer's documentation provided with any third-party
products.
Starting point assumptions

We assume that the current software is running on your Experion Server. This includes
the OEM version of the RSLinx software, which requires loading the "Activation Key"
from the Master diskette provided with the software. If you need to load the current
Software, please refer to the Experion Software Installation and Upgrade Guide for
details.

Setting Up Drivers and IP Addresses
IP Address Recommendation
There are 273 IP networks reserved for private networks. The addresses are 10.0.0.0,
172.16.16-31.0, and 192.168.0-255.0. They can be used by anyone setting up internal IP
networks, such as a lab or home LAN behind a NAT or proxy server or a router. None of
these networks will conflict with any networks addressable on the Internet. These
addresses are defined in RFC 1918.
We recommend using one of the 192.168.x.0 Private Class C internet networks for the
Supervisory Ethernet network.
ATTENTION
Check with your organization's network administrator to identify specific
addresses that may be available at your facility. While there will be no conflict
with Internet networks, you organization may already use one or more of the
private networks for internal purposes.
About BOOTP
The Experion Control Data Access (CDA) server includes a BOOTP (Bootstrap protocol)
server. The BOOTP is low-level protocol that provides configuration to other nodes on a
TCP/IP network with Windows operating system. The BOOTP configuration files let you
automatically assign IP addresses to the Ethernet module. You can also obtain subnet
masks and gateway addresses from BOOTP.
The Ethernet module factory default setting is BOOTP enabled. Upon power up, the
Ethernet module sends a message to the BOOTP server on the network with its physical
(or MAC) address. The server compares the MAC address to those in its look-up table in
the configuration file and sends a message back to the module with the appropriate IP
address.

3/08 Honeywell
Configuration
About IP Address Classes

The IP address identifies each node on the IP network (or system of connected networks).
Each TCP/IP node on a network (including the Ethernet module) must have a unique IP
address.
The IP address is 32 bits long and has a net ID part and a host ID part. There are three
network classes A, B, and C that determine how an IP address is formatted. The Class A
address format is one byte net ID and three bytes host ID with the highest order bit
always set to 0. The Class B format is two bytes net ID and two bytes host ID with the
two highest order bits set to 10. The Class C format is three bytes net ID and one byte
host ID with the three highest order bits set to 110.
Each node on the same physical network must have an IP address of the same class and
must have the same net ID. Each node on the same network must have a different host ID
to give it a unique IP address.
You can distinguish the class of an IP address based on its first integer. The range for a
first integer in a Class A address is 0 to 127, 128 to 191 for a Class B address, and 192 to
223 for a Class C address.
ATTENTION
The address 127.0.0.0 is reserved for loopback functions and is not
considered to be a network address.

Honeywell 3/08

Checking NIC settings
ATTENTION
Users are responsible for making the correct IP address assignments for the
addressable components used in their planned Supervisory Ethernet
networks.

• Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address settings for
this Ethernet module in the corresponding fields in the dialog box. Do not
change an IP address through this dialog box.
• Click the Enable BOOTP checkbox to clear the check mark from the
box. This disables the BOOTP function on the Ethernet module.
• Click OK to close the dialog box and initiate the change.
ATTENTION
When the BOOTP function is disabled, the Ethernet module remembers its
configuration and uses it on the next power up. The Ethernet module also
remembers its current slot location in the chassis. If you move this Ethernet
module to another slot location in the chassis, it reverts to the BOOTP enable
state and resets the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway settings to zeros
(0). In this case, you must Cycle power to the Ethernet module to re-register
the addresses configured in the BOOTP text file in the Ethernet module
again.
