Arrange all Vertexes on the design according to the LAN network design rules.

Create a schematic LAN network diagram. This will help you plan the right number of LAN ports and to divide them between switches. Remember about additional devices, such as the cloud gateway and the connection to the BMS.

Large LAN network

LAN network design rules:

  1. The maximum distance between devices is 100 m.

  2. To connect BMS, use Modbus TCP/IP.

  3. The LAN switch requires an external power supply.

  4. Up to 25 Vertexes can work in one group (cluster). If more Vertexes are required, create more clusters.

  5. One E2D REMOTE ACCESS KIT can be connected to one cluster. If there are more clusters, more devices should be added.

Good practices:

  • Do not use all switch ports – always have a spare port in case of system expansion or for service purposes.

If you have two different types of controllers in your project (Vertex 2 and Vertex 3), you will need to follow these instructions: Merging Vertex 2 and Vertex 3
