Description

W-BACnet replaces the cabling with a reliable wireless mesh eliminating the time-consuming installation planning, cabling, daisy-chaining and troubleshooting.

With W-BACnet, it is easy to retrofit connectivity to already installed devices, instantaneously converting individually siloed devices to a wireless network.

The product enables flexibility, saving time and costs, including during installation and steady-state operation.

The W-BACnet acts as a proxy for the connected BACnet MSTP device, effectively extending the bus and creating the possibility to make legacy products wireless.

A W-BACnet network consists of a single W-BACnet Gateway with up to 100 W-BACnet Nodes.

Connect your BACnet MS/TP controller using RS485 to the W-BACnet Gateway, and then each of your BACnet MS/TP devices with RS485 to the W-BACnet nodes.

The W-BACnet product is built upon LumenRadio’s patented meshing technology MiraMesh - providing ultra-reliable device-to-device connectivity, easy installation, concurrent Bluetooth and extended indoor range. MiraMesh is used in a large number of different applications around the world for building automation, HVAC control, lighting control and industrial sensor networks.

Features

• Instant commissioning – 3 simple steps, commissioning the W-Modbus network in minutes.
• Mesh network – cover an entire building, utilizing the mesh network as your infrastructure.
• Range – 500 meters (line-of-sight) per hop in the mesh network.
• Cognitive Coexistence – LumenRadio’s patented technology provides industrial-grade reliability and immunity to interference.
• Self-optimizing network – the mesh network will always find the best way to send messages through the network between devices.
• Modular configuration – you no longer need to have the same baud rate in the whole network, supports individual settings for each device.
