 About This User Manual

General
Any security measures described in this User Manual, for example, for user
access, password security, network security, firewalls, virus protection, etc.,
represent possible steps that a user of an 800xA System may want to consider
based on a risk assessment for a particular application and installation. This risk
assessment, as well as the proper implementation, configuration, installation,
operation, administration, and maintenance of all relevant security related
equipment, software, and procedures, are the responsibility of the user of the
800xA System.
This user manual describes the installation of Control Builder A.
Control Builder A is a configuration tool for AC100 and AC400 Series Controllers.
Control Builder A can be installed in a 800xA system or separate from 800xA.

PU410 External Engineering Board

Introduction
The external RTA unit PU410 replaces the engineering board PU516. PU410 is a
standalone hardware unit which supports both single and dual point to point
connection via Ethernet. Single or redundant connection with MasterBus 300 is
enabled via RJ-45 connectors. It also has one port for direct connection to a AC400
controller.

PU410 Specification
• Connectors
– Two shielded RJ-45 connectors for 100Mbit/s full duplex communication
with the PC.(PC 1 and 2 ports)
– Two shielded RJ-45 connectors for 10Mbit/s half duplex communication
with MasterBus 300/300E or eDCN control network. (MB300/eDCN 1
and 2 ports)
– Two 15-pos DSUB socket connector for RS232 and RS422
communication with Control Builder A, CBA. (CBA port)
– One 9-pos DSUB socket connector for RS232 communication for debug
and upgrading of firmware. (SERVICE port)
• Power
100-230V AC, 50-60 Hz.
• Power consumption
Typical 12W without I/O connected. Maximum 25W.
• Size
HxWxD (mm): 45 x 433 x 243.
• Net weight: 3.2 kg.

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.

The red fault LED will also illuminate for a few seconds at PU410 start-up.

Section 1 Installation of Control Builder A Mechanical Installation

• 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 PC 2 port 172.17.168.50.
• 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 18. 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 19. 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 below). 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\31r0\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.

Figure 20. IP Config view of Management Tool

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.
