2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CPC12 - transparency through webserver and
fieldbus connection
The requirements of machine and plant construction
regarding machine uptime and a consistently high
production quality are increasing. Stable processes
are based on a reliable and transparent DC24V pro-
tection and power distribution system.
E-T-A’s CPC12 bus controller has a separate DC24V
power supply and allows independent supply of the
circuit protectors. It records all status information and
measuring values. These data are visualised with the
internal webserver. Via the field bus interface, the
data are also made available to the superordinate
control systems.
E-T-A’s REX12D system in combination with the
CPC12 bus controller was designed specifically for
the requirements of the machine construction and
process control industry. The REX12D modular
power distribution system combined with the CPC12
bus controller meets all requirements.
• Maximises plant and machine uptime
through clear failure detection, high
transparency and remote diagnosis
• Saves space through a slim design of
the circuit protectors and the potential
modules
• Increases flexibility of system plan-
ning through many different modules
meeting the demands of DC24V power
distribution

3. CONNECTION WITH THE WEBS-
ERVER
As soon as the electrical installation of the
ControlPlex® system is completed, an Ethernet
connection can be established via X1 interface
on the CPC12 bus controller.
To do this, the adapter options must first be set to the
standard IP range 192.168.1.XXX (for example
192.168.1.254).
1. Under Windows Settings the submenu "Network
and Internet" is selected
2. Clicking on "Change adapter options" opens the
"Network connections" window
3. Double-click on the current Ethernet connection to
open the "Status of WLAN" window
4. Clicking on "Properties" opens another window in
which the "Internet Protocol, Version 4" is selected

5. Clicking on "Properties" opens a new window in
which the item "Use the following IP address" is se-
lected, the corresponding address is entered and
confirmed with "OK“
After the network settings have been adjusted, the
webserver of the CPC12 can now be accessed via a
standard web browser. In the following example, the
Microsoft Edge browser was used. In addition, the
browser variants Chrome and Mozilla Firefox in the
latest versions are possible. Only these variants are
checked and available for the webserver. All other
browsers are not supported.
To call the webserver of the CPC12, the default IP
address 192.168.1.1 must be typed in the upper
search field of the web browser and then confirmed.
