MSA Safety FS-ROUTER-BAC2 FieldServer BACnet Router
Overview
The FieldServer BACnet Router offers a complete BACnet Internetworking solution for BACnet/IP, BACnet Ethernet, and BACnet MS/TP networks. This is the first standalone BACnet Router that has been certified by BTL to ensure the highest standard for BACnet integration. The FieldServer BACnet Router has two RS-485 ports enabling up to 64 BACnet MS/TP devices to be connected to it without the use of additional line drivers. Relative to a single port router, the dual port router halves device response time by distributing devices over the two RS-485 ports. The FieldServer BACnet Router has an easy one-page configuration, greatly simplifying the installation process. Included in the BACnet Router the BACnet Explorer, allows the integrator to push a button and discover all the BACnet devices connected to the router, greatly simplifying the commissioning process and troubleshooting the BACnet network.
