Engineering Panel Common Use Case: Change BCU IP

  • HINT: In case of SwitchBCU o SlaveBCU, the better choice is to remove the minicrate from the ASM power supply monitor and connect it to an external power source. The ethernet cable can be directly attached to the BCU.
  • HINT: In case of crate BCU you are forced to use an optical switch and to configure the MOXA for a complete unit power up.
  • Start Engineering Panel and configure it. Connect to the BCU
  • From the drop-down menu select "Set BCU IP Address"
