The BACnet/IP Controller (
750-831) connects the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM with the
BACnet protocol. This controller corresponds to the BACnet B‐BC device profile according to DIN EN ISO 16484‐5. It communicates with other BACnet devices via BACnet/IP.
It provides the following three functions:
- Native server: For each channel, appropriate BACnet objects are generated automatically for the digital and analog I/O modules that are connected to the controller.
- Application server: Other supported BACnet objects can be created via the IEC 61131‐3 programming environment and made available to a BACnet network.
- Application client: Using the client functionality, objects and their properties can be accessed by other BACnet devices.
Two ETHERNET interfaces and an integrated switch allow the fieldbus to be wired in a line topology, eliminating the need for additional network devices, such as switches or hubs. Both interfaces support autonegotiation and Auto MDI(X). The DIP switch configures the last byte of the IP address and may be used for IP address assignment via DHCP. An integrated Webserver provides configuration options to the user and status information on the controller. The device is programmable in accordance with IEC 61131-3, is multitasking-capable and features a battery-backed RTC. 1 MB of data memory is available. This controller (
750-831) is equipped with a removable memory card slot. A memory card can be used to transfer device parameters or files (e.g., boot files) from one controller to another. In addition, the BACnet trend objects can also record data on the SD card. The card can be accessed via FTP and used as an additional drive. BACnet networks are configured and commissioned with the Windows-compliant WAGO BACnet Configurator. The
WAGO BACnet Configurator is stand-alone commissioning, configuration and management software. The configurator creates and configures WAGO BACnet Controllers and sets up data exchange between the IEC application and BACnet objects. Import and export functions allow further processing of the configuration data.
