New BACnet Products Ease
Connectivity to Harvest Information
Building Automation is going through phenomenal
changes. Rather than standalone systems of the past,
these systems are becoming highly integrated to
achieve greater comfort, energy optimization, cloud
connectivity and remote diagnostics. Contemporary
Controls will be showcasing new BACnet enabled
products at AHR that easily help you achieve the
above goals.
The BASpi is a next generation controller that allows
you to push control and data collection to the
Edge. Built on open hardware and open software
technologies, it It harnesses the power of the popular
Raspberry Pi, making it one of the most powerful
controller platforms in the building automation
market today. Contemporary Controls has designed
a series of BASpi controllers by enhancing and
ruggedizing the Raspberry Pi to a building
automation controller. Packaged in a compact DIN 4
housing with industry standard screw terminals and
power input, three BASpi versions exist;
* A 6-universal input - 6-relay output for general
purpose control applications.
* A 6-universal input - 4-relay and 2-analog output
BACnet server controller for control applications
such AHUs, FCUs, and heat pumps.

* A BASpi BACnet Client Controller (BCC) with an
isolated EIA-485 port for direct connection to
BACnet MS/TP network devices. It also functions as
a BACnet to Azure cloud gateway with the ability to
make any BACnet device a cloud-connected device.
The Cellular BACnet router, BASrouterCX, eliminates
the need to have two separate devices - an IP router
and a BACnet router by combining their functionality.
The built-in cellular modem provides easy integration
of remote sites, such as rooftop units, allowing
predictive rather than reactive maintenance for
example. It is a high-performance BACnet router
providing stand-alone routing between BACnet
networks such as BACnet/IP, BACnet Ethernet (ISO
8802-3), and BACnet MS/TP. It provides a simplified

BBMD setup by utilizing a single BACnet port for
communication without the need to setup multiple
network ports. A remote BACnet Client can discover
the BASrouterCX and its locally connect BACnet/IP,
BACnet/Ethernet and BACnet/MSTP devices easily.
The resident OpenVPN client allows integration into a
secure VPN network.
The Skorpion Series of Ethernet and IP products
simplify integration of BACnet/IP devices to the
network. Contemporary Controls offers a range
to products from simple plug-and-play Ethernet
switches, diagnostic switches to troubleshoot
networks using Wireshark to Managed Switches
offering SNMP and redundancy via RSTP. Secure
Remote Access solutions include IP routers and VPN
over wired and cellular networks for data mining,
remote diagnostics or and commissioning - saving
valuable time.
