Product Description:
"BACnet Server for AcquiSuite" is an add-on software module for Obvius'
"AcquiSuite" data acquisition server platform. The "AcquiSuite" is a Linux- based
embedded controller with a web user-interface which automatically detects and
recognizes a variety of power meters and sensors using a variety of protocols, chiefly
Modbus/RTU and Modbus/TCP but also proprietary protocols. The "AcquiSuite" logs,
stores and uploads data from these meters or sensors to a variety of databases, and
may also act as a real-time protocol gateway.
The "BACnet Server for AcquiSuite" allows the AcquiSuite to represent each
Modbus/TCP or Modbus/RTU meter or sensor it recognizes as a BACnet device, with
data points represented as the appropriate BACnet objects. BACnet queries are
answered from cached data, and proprietary algorithms are used to decide when to
refresh this cached data via the backend (e.g., Modbus) protocols.
The "BACnet Server for AcquiSuite" also includes features in its web user- interface
to scan for and display information about other BACnet devices on the network,
intended for to help the user through initial configuration and deployment of the
product and in diagnosing problems.
