Application #1 — BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP Remote I/O
Assume that someone forgot to pull MS/TP twisted-pair
wiring to a distant part of the building or that the
specification calls for only CAT 5 structured wiring
cable, a connection can still be made to the BACnet
network. Since the BASremote Master is BACnet/IP
compliant, a simple 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection
to the IP infrastructure is all that is needed. If the
BASremote Master is located on a separate subnet
from the other BACnet equipment, the unit can register
as a foreign device with a BACnet/IP Broadcast
Management Device (BBMD) located on another subnet
in order to initiate and receive all BACnet broadcasts. If
the Modbus protocol is of more interest, the
BASremote Master supports Modbus TCP as well. If
more I/O points are required, a BASremote Expansion
module can be connected to the BASremote Master
DN port. Up to three BASremote Expansion modules
can be attached in a daisy-chain wiring fashion.
