1. About BSB Series Industrial Unmanaged Ethernet Switch

BSB Series Industrial Unmanaged Ethernet Switches are designed for industrial-grade Ethernet, and particularly for facilities of rugged industry and infrastructure. BSB Series Industrial Unmanaged Ethernet Switches are tailored to perform various features, such as wide temperature, wide range power input range... etc. Thus, BSB Series Industrial Unmanaged Ethernet Switches are the best choice for facility management, sewage treatment, power utility, telecommunication, transportation and all other applications that require reliable Ethernet connectivity.

BSB Series has models also with REDZ Broadband Power Line (BPL) communication. BPL link allows device to communicate with full transparent TCP/IP standard over Low Voltage power lines and allows easy connection between TCP/IP based terminals without use of extra cables.

BSB Series has models also with SFP ports for Fiber connectivity. BSB Series with SFP ports offers fiber and ethernet connectivity in same device with plug and play SFP ports. Wide range of SFP modules are available to be used with BSB series.

BSB Series has models also with PoE+ ports for Power over Ethernet connectivity. BSB Series Industrial Unmanaged Ethernet Switches with PoE+ ports can power up to 36W device on a single port and total combined power supply is 90W. Additional PoE splitter can be used to separate power and data for field devices.

7. SFP Types

The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact, hot-pluggable network interface module used for both telecommunication and data communications applications. An SFP interface on networking hardware is a modular slot for a media-specific transceiver in order to connect a fiber-optic cable or sometimes a copper cable.

The advantage of using SFPs compared to fixed interfaces (e.g. modular connectors in Ethernet switches) is that individual ports can be equipped with any suitable type of transceiver as needed.

BSB Series Industrial Unmanaged Ethernet Switches connections vary based on with and without BPL (Broadband Power Line ) Link versions.

 

8.1 Connection Diagram for BPL Versions

 

8.2 Connection Diagram for ETH Versions

8.3 Connection Diagram for SFP Port Versions

8.4 Connection Diagram for PoE+ Versions

 

9. System Comparison Between CAT5 and BPL Links

  CAT5 Based System BPL Link Based System
Media CAT5 Power Line
Bandwidth 100Mbps Up to 30Mbps
Re-Wire Yes No, Using existing Power Line
Span <100m <600m
Multiple Nodes N/A Up to 10 hops/1000 nodes
Encryption Yes, but difficult to configure Yes, Plug & Play
Installment Difficult Easy, simply user power line
Installment Cost High Low
Total Cost High Low

 

NOTE1 :  BPL Model can be purchased in 2 versions:

1. P-N Model: Phase to neutral model (Standart Model). That version gets power from terminal pins 1 and 2 from phase and neutral. It can also transmit data from that pins and other pins usage is optionAl (Ex: Master can be connected to all phases and slaves can be connected to relevant phases)

2. P-P Model: Phase to phase model. That version also gets power from terminal pins 1 and 2 from phase and neutral. Data transmission only done through terminal pins 3 and 4. Phase to phase connection can be done to data transmission pins for better performance.
If not used then phase and neutral can still be connected for data transmission for terminal pins 3 and 4.

 

NOTE2:  BPL Model can be purchased in DC model as well:

This model will be same as "P-P Model"( Phase to phase model) on data connection and gets 12V DC power from terminal pins 1 and 2. Data transmission only done through terminal pins 3 and 4.

 

10. Broadband Power Line (BPL) Communication - Video Examples

10.1 Firmware Update Video Example for Broadband Power Line (BPL) BSB Models

Default firmware for Broadband Power Line (BPL) version BSB series shipped with multi hop (mesh network) functionality. If needed that firmware can be changed in the field.

NOTE:  Devices can be order with desired functionality during order. It is not advised to change firmware in field unless it is a must, since mistakes during that procedure may make device unreachable.


Here are steps to achieve that:

  1. Set your PC's IP for Software Tool.
  2. To control the connection, set 4 BPL products, 1 of which is "Master" and 3 of which are "Slave", from the switch on the BSB series.
    Then search devices in Software Tool. 
  3. You should see all connected BPL products in the Software Tool search result. On the Software Toolscreen, under the heading "Active SDK"; If it says "4.xx....", the installed firmware is "MultiHop", if it says "2.xx.....", the firmware is "NoHop".
  4. Mark the module those firmware you want to change, first load the "ROM" file with "Firm. UP", then the "sys" file with "Sys Area". 
  5. After the updates, restart the system and search again with Software Tool. That means process has been finished successfully.

Here is a video for application:

 

 

NOTE1 :  BPL Model can be purchased in 2 versions:

1. P-N Model: Phase to neutral model (Standart Model). That version gets power from terminal pins 1 and 2 from phase and neutral. It can also transmit data from that pins and other pins usage is optionAl (Ex: Master can be connected to all phases and slaves can be connected to relevant phases)

2. P-P Model: Phase to phase model. That version also gets power from terminal pins 1 and 2 from phase and neutral. Data transmission only done through terminal pins 3 and 4. Phase to phase connection can be done to data transmission pins for better performance.
If not used then phase and neutral can still be connected for data transmission for terminal pins 3 and 4.

 

NOTE2:  BPL Model can be purchased in DC model as well:

This model will be same as "P-P Model"( Phase to phase model) on data connection and gets 12V DC power from terminal pins 1 and 2. Data transmission only done through terminal pins 3 and 4.


10.2 Communication Video Example for No Hop version of Broadband Power Line (BPL) BSB Models which are Paired in Same Power Network

BSB series BPL switches can work without hops. This is tree based communication and there will be 1 master and many slaves and all slaves will be connected to master directly (without hops). 

NOTE:  No hop version needs special firmware and user can get that firmware from our company and update devices in field.

There is also another option for no hop firmware, devices can be paired so that there can be many masters and many slaves in same power network. This can help to isolate BPL connections from each other.

Here are steps to achieve that:

  1. Set your PC's IP for Software Tool.
  2. To control the connection, set 4 BPL products, 1 of which is "Master" and 3 of which are "Slave", from the switch on the BSB series.
    Then search devices in Software Tool. 
  3. You can group devices by assigning a Domain Number from the Domain Management menu. After assigning the Domain to the first group, set the other group as 1 Master 1 Slave from switches,  restart devices, plug the eth cable into this group and repeat the process. 
  4. After grouping, restart the system.
  5. When you search on Software Tool, this time you should see 2 BPL products, not 4.
    You should see the details of the group to which the eth cable is plugged. That means process has been finished successfully.
