Solutions that Simplify the Integration to BACnet/IP - Displayed at Niagara Forum
April 2015 - System integrators and others interested in solutions that simplify the integration to BACnet/IP had an opportunity to see and learn first-hand, during the Niagara Forum in London, our BASautomation® products that do just that - simplify the integration to BACnet/IP. These products include:
- BACnet/IP unitary controllers that execute freely-programmable Sedona Framework™ wire sheets and flexible visualization platforms including Niagara Framework® for alarming, scheduling and trending.
- Standalone BACnet routers that allow for the connection of BACnet MS/TP and BACnet Ethernet devices to BACnet/IP. The BASrouterLX with its extensive BBMD support allows BACnet devices to operate over a large sub-netted IP network. Our BASrouter's offload building controller MS/TP communications - freeing up valuable controller CPU time for other activities.
- Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP to BACnet/IP gateways with predefined Modbus device profiles that interface with Modbus TCP and Modbus Serial (RTU or ASCII) devices to BACnet/IP. Numerous predefined Modbus device profiles have been developed by Contemporary Controls and are located on our website. This makes configuration simple with only having to check off boxes on a web page.
- Infrastructure connectivity products including managed, unmanaged Ethernet switches, wired and wireless IP routers, media converters, PoE injectors and splitters, all designed and built to take any device to the internet.
