As part of its continuing efforts to promote and support the BACnet (Building Automation and Control network) standard, Contemporary Controls’ BASautomation product line includes the BASgateway, BAScontrol and BASview.
The BASgateway connects BACnet/IP Ethernet to non-BACnet compliant networks such as Modbus Serial or Modbus TCP. Using the concept of virtual routing, up to 30 Modbus devices appear as individual BACnet devices. Using web pages and a resident database of common Modbus device profiles, Modbus registers from either Modbus TCP or Modbus Serial devices can be mapped to BACnet objects.
Cooperating with Modbus device manufacturers, Contemporary Controls has developed a library of Modbus device profiles that reside within the BASgateway, thereby removing a significant burden from the system integrator commissioning the system. If custom device profiles are required, they can be uploaded to the BASgateway.
The BAScontrol is a 20-point field controller with a direct connection to Ethernet networks. Ideally suited for structured wiring systems, it is BACnet/IP compliant with a B-ASC device profile. Having a resident Sedona Virtual Machine (SVM), the unit is freely programmable using tools such as Niagara Workbench or Sedona Workbench. For remote Ethernet I/O applications, the unit can be configured with minimal effort using a web browser.
The BAScontrol provides a convenient mix of universal inputs, binary inputs and outputs as well as analog outputs. Models exist for both triac and relay binary outputs. The unit is ideal for unitary control or for expanding I/O points in the field via an Ethernet connection.
BASview is a standalone, embedded, web-based graphical interface for building automation and process automation systems. It can be accessed from any web browser, providing client functionality to any BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP system. By using the BASrouter or BASgateway products, additional protocols such as BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII are supported.
BASview is totally self-contained, requiring no external PC or application for its use. Any number of web browser users can access the device. BASview is ideal for small to medium buildings or processes that require a simple-to-use graphical interface with no licensing requirements.
