BPC 9102S

Connecting and operating elements

Security seals

In order to prevent manipulation of the device supplied and to detect unauthorized opening of the device, security seals have been applied to the BPC 9102S.

 

These security seals are damaged in the event of unauthorized opening. In this case, correct operation of the BPC 9102S can no longer be ensured.

• Check the delivery for transport damage. Damaged packaging is an indicator of potential damage to the device that may have occurred during transport. This could result in a malfunction.
• Do not open the BPC 9102S housing. If the housing is opened, the function of the device can no longer be ensured.
• Check at regular intervals that none of the seals are damaged. If any of the seals are damaged or missing, it may be that the device has been tampered. In this case, contact Phoenix Contact before using the device.

USB and COM service interfaces

The BPC 9102S has a USB service interface (USB 3.0 type A socket) and a COM service interface (D-SUB 9 pin strip). These two interfaces are for internal service purposes only. During normal operation of the device, these interfaces cannot be used.

Diagnostics and status indicators

 

LED	Color	Meaning	Status	Description
Run-S	Green	Operating state of the safe application program	On	Cyclical processing of the safety-related application program has started.
			Off	Cyclical processing of the safety-related application program has stopped.
FS-S	Red	Failure state: Safe state of the SPLC 3000	On	A critical error has occurred and been detected. The SPLC 3000 has switched to the safe state (failure state).
			Flashing (1 Hz)	This can indicate: Initialization phase is running (firmware boot process with power-on self-test; loading parameterization and configuration data from the configuration memory; booting the safe application program) Initialization phase has been aborted with an error Error-free BPC 9102S debug mode
			Off	Error-free operating state of the SPLC 3000 with supply voltage present

 

SD card

The use of the SD card is mandatory. 

Phoenix Contact recommends the use of the following SD cards:

• SD FLASH 8GB PLCNEXT MEMORY LIC (item no. 1151112) 
• SD FLASH 32GB PLCNEXT MEMORY LIC (item no. 1151111) 

With upcoming firmware releases, these special SD cards will provide data protection, and therefore can be used together with the Security Profile.

Sensitive data is stored on the SD card. This data can even be restored after reformatting the SD card.

• To protect the data, make sure that the cover of the slot for the SD card is always screwed tight.

 Assignment of the Ethernet interfaces

 

The BPC 9102S is equipped with the following interfaces:

Pos.	Interfaces		Description
1	COM	RS-232	Service interface (reserved internally): D-SUB 9 pin strip (serial, RS-232)
2	LAN1	3 x Ethernet	Ethernet: 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps
	LAN2		PROFINET®: Controller interfaces function (max. 1 Gbps)
	LAN3		PROFINET®: Device interfaces function (max. 1 Gbps)
3	USB		Service interface (reserved internally): USB 3.0 socket (type A)

 

The following is an overview of how the Ethernet interfaces are assigned by default in the various pages in the WBM: 

Ethernet interface hardware	Description	PROFINET® function by default	Ethernet interface WBM - Network page	Ethernet interfaces WBM - Firewall page
X2:LAN1	10/100/1000 BASE-T(X), separate MAC address		TCP/IP (LAN1)	LAN1
X3:LAN2	10/100/1000 BASE-T(X), separate MAC address	PROFINET® Controller	TCP/IP (LAN2)	LAN2
X4:LAN3	10/100/1000 BASE-T(X), common MAC address, internally switched	PROFINET® Device	TCP/IP (LAN3)	LAN3

 

Activating  PROFINET®

After you have performed a threat analysis and implemented appropriate protective measures from the security context, you can activate PROFINET®.

 For information on how to activate PROFINET®, refer to the topic Activating PROFINET in this PLCnext Security Info Center.

 For further information on PROFINET® in the WBM, refer to the PROFINET diagnostics topic in the main PLCnext Info Center.

PROFINET® configuration

If you activate and use PROFINET® , it is strongly recommended to use the PROFINET®  configuration described below.

Depending on the connected interface, the BPC 9102S can be accessed on the Ethernet via three different IP addresses.

Reset the controller

You reset the BPC 9102S by actuating the MRESET button.

The MRESET button is located under the side cover of the BPC 9102S. The button can only be pressed with a pointed object (such as a pen).
Using the MRESET button will delete the application program in the BPC 9102S main memory and the retain data.

Procedure:

• To actuate the MRESET button (4), remove the screw (3) in the cover (1) with a Torx® TX 10 screwdriver.
• Then swivel the cover (1) to the side so that you can easily access the MRESET button (4).
• To delete the application program and the retain data, actuate the MRESET button in the following sequence:
  • Press and hold down the button for three seconds.
  • Release the button for less than three seconds.
  • Press and hold down the button for three seconds.
• Re-affix the cover (1) after actuating the MRESET button by tightening the screw (3) to protect the MRESET button against accidental damage or actuation.

Secure disposal

Sensitive data is stored on the SD card. This data can even be restored after reformatting the SD card. To ensure that your data does not fall into unauthorized hands, you should physically destroy the SD card before disposal.

• Physically destroy the SD card, e.g., by cutting up the SD card.
• Dispose of the irreparably damaged SD card in accordance with the applicable national regulations.

The device contains an internal memory.

• To ensure that the internal memory cannot be accessed, you must ensure that the hardware is disposed of safely.

For more information on secure disposal, refer to the topic Secure disposal.
