KMC Controls Conquest BAC-5051AE BACnet Router
The KMC Controls BAC-5051AE is a powerful, multi-port BACnet router suitable for heavy network traffic and as a service tool for control technicians.
Description
The KMC Controls BAC-5051AE is a multi-port BACnet router. It is powerful enough for heavy network traffic and small enough to use as a control technician's service tool.
Key Features:
- Routing: Supports BACnet IP, Ethernet, and MS/TP routing. IP routing is compliant with BACnet Standard 134-2012, Annex J.
- Browser Configuration: Configure the BAC-5051AE using any internet browser, requiring no special software.
- Flexible Mounting: Offers two mounting options: DIN rail or surface mount for permanent installations.
- Diagnostics: Embedded metrics include total device count, frame counts, error frames, data frames, duplicate MAC addresses, token passing, and poll-for-master count.
- MS/TP Diagnostics Capture: Allows capturing, saving, and analyzing MS/TP network traffic in industry-standard .pcap files for troubleshooting.
- Automatic Network Learning: Detects and configures routing for discovered networks automatically.
- Diagnostic Tool: Can be used to monitor traffic without routing, serving as a diagnostic tool.
- VAV Airflow Balancing: Can be used with an internet browser as an airflow balancing tool for BAC-8000 and BAC-9000 series VAV controllers.
- AFMS Configuration: Use the router to set up an Airflow Measurement System (AFMS).
- Zone Configuration: Use the router to set up a BAC-120063CW-ZEC zoning Flexstat.
