The Continuum bCX1 is a feature-rich, yet cost-effective network controller that supports the Infinet family of field controllers.
The controller provides a full function 10/100 Ethernet connection and support for up to 127 Infinet field controllers, with a second communication port available for a modem connection or a Plain English™ driver. This full function network controller provides global control for all of its field controllers and a simple easy-to-use web configuration interface. The bCX1 also provides a TCP/IP interface for custom web pages, along with SNMP monitoring and optional SNMP alarm delivery. The bCX1 also has the ability to add expansion I/O for local control via the xP family of expansion modules.

XDriver Support
Turn your bCX1 into a powerful gateway by enabling one of the bCX1’s two comm. ports as an XDriver port. With an XDriver installed, the Andover Continuum system becomes integrated with third party equipment, allowing common control from Plain English programmes as well as monitoring and setpoint adjustment from CyberStation or web.Client. This option may be purchased with new bCX1 controllers or as an upgrade to an existing bCX1.
Modbus/IP and Modbus/RTU XDrivers
With the initial release of this feature, two XDrivers have been compiled for the bCX1 – Modbus®/IP and Modbus/RTU. Modbus has been the most popular XDriver on the NetController. This open protocol can be found on a wide range of building equipment – RTUs,power meters, chillers, breaker panels, variable speed drives, and so on. The Modbus/RTU driver is used with Modbus equipment that is networked using RS-485 wiring and the Modbus/IP driver is used with Modbus equipment that is networked over Ethernet.
