Overview

The BACnet® Communication Interface for IntelliPak™ (BCI2-I) device is a communications module that allows heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment to communicate on a BACnet communications network. This device is a non-programmable communication module that connects directly to the IntelliPak family of equipment by means of an inter-process communication (IPC) buss. This factory- or field-installed device is designed to be used on IntelliPak 1 and 2 rooftop units, and IntelliPak Commercial Self-contained Units (CSC).

Note: The BCI2-I is not designed for fresh air units (FAU).

Features and Benefits

FeaturesBenefits
BCI2-I InstallationThe device is provided as either a factory- or field-mounted unit.
Self-configuring/Data Point ManagerThe device can determine data points based on the type of IntelliPak equipment and the installed equipment options.
BACnet protocolThe device supports BACnet protocol per ASHRAE 135-2004 and meets requirements for BACnet Testing Laboratory (BTL) certification as an BACnet Building Controller (B-BC) profile device.
Multiple diagnostics on control pointsAllows for advanced, remote control, and troubleshooting of equipment.
Compatible with Trane Air-Fi® Wireless Communication SystemProvides wireless communication between Trane BACnet unit and system controllers and zone sensors. This allows faster, easier, lower-risk installation and life-cycle savings due to future space re-configuration, upgrades, and expansions.
