4Preparing the Communication
This section describes the settings both for the BFI and the iX ModBus Master controller and some other
helpful information.
BFI parameter settings
BFI-E3:
- P12=3. Modbus TCP control with Acceleration and Deceleration time in parameter P-03/ P-04.
- P12=4. Modbus TCP control with Acceleration and Deceleration time sent by Modbus TCP.
Adjust if necessary:
- P14=201 to make all parameters available.
- P36 = Station number must be 1.
- P36 = Communication speed must be 115,2 Kbits/sec.
- P36 = Timeout.
t => BFI will trip when no communication
r => BFI will coast to stop
Function can either be disabled by setting 0 second or set to 30, 100, 1000 or 3000 milliseconds
Additionally you either have to brige Pin1 and Pin2 or use the start/direction switch to set the start signal.
BFI Ethernet ports
The 2 Ethernet ports are marked P1 and P2 and have the same IP-address.
The 2 ports on the left side marked D1 and D2 are serial ports not intended for Ethernet. Faulty connection
of cables might cause damage to either BFI-E3 or other equipment.

5Web server in BFI-E3
Default IP-address of BFI-E3 is 192.168.1.253 and Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Enter IP-address in the web browser. Username is Admin and Password is the serial number of the BFI.
Module Configuration
•OPT-3-MTPIG-BFI is the name for the internal Modbus TCP board .
•The serial number is the identification for the complete BFI.
•Hardware version is 0419
•Latest available firmware in October 2020 is V101 R003 S0168

Network Statistic
•192.168.1.29 is the IP-address of the PC. Local port 80 with Socket type TCP is the web browser
connection with BFI.
•192.168.1.29 is the IP-address of the PC. Local port 47850 with Socket type TCP is PC-program BFI-
Tools running on the PC.
•192.168.1.40 is the IP-address of one X2-Control.
Modbus Statistics
Correct working communication without any fault should look like below. Counter of Transmitted,
Received and Successful Transmissions are calculating upwards Error counters stays at 0.

ModBusRTU and ModBusTCP parallely
It is not possible to run ModBus RTU and ModBus TCP at the same time!
6The iX Project
The most important screens of the iX are the Main menu (Demo_Main) and the All Parameters
menu (Demo_AllPar).
Besides these 2 screens there are a couple of other nice to have screens.
Main Menu
On this screen you get feedback from the BFI concerning it´s type (BFI-E3) and you see the most
import status and output data. In addition to that you can set the frequency, start/stop the BFI and you
can also switch between multiple BFI´s by changing the Node Id.

All Parameters Menu
On this screen you can read and write the BFI parameters.
Remote IO Menu
On this screen you can see the sate of the digital and analog Inputs.
