1 your jace WaYS remote access for your JacEOur EIPR-V wireless router provides a secure VPN connection to the jace in conjunction with our BAScloudVPN cloud service. Traveling to a job site to conduct a service call can be expensive and unproductive especially when the problem can be resolved remotely. Having remote access to the jace is extremely important with saving time and improved troubleshooting responsiveness. There are several ways this can be accomplished with either a wired or a wireless solution that does not compromise network security. With the jace s two Ethernet ports, one port can be utilized for the building control network and the second port for remote communications.

2 Connecting the second port to our EIPR-V router, when connected to our BAScloudVPN cloud service, provides access to the jace from an office or other remote locations. When using more than one jace , all of the second jace ports can be networked together to create a remote access network that can be accessed through the EIPR-V. The EIPR-V can communicate via cellular networks, through the addition of a USB cellular modem, or via its Ethernet port - if Internet access is your jace s MS/TP Traffic While the jace has the ability to route MS/TP traffic over one of its serial ports, handling the overhead of the BACnet MS/TP token passing protocol burdens the jace s CPU.

3 This results in increased CPU usage that could be used for other functions and calls for the potential need to change to a higher-powered jace CPU usage can be decreased by offloading the MS/TP token passing to external BACnet MS/TP to BACnet/IP routers. This is especially important if you require the jace to be connected to multiple MS/TP our BAS Router BACnet Multi-Network Router and BASrouterLX High-Performance BACnet Router provide the solution. The units offer stand-alone routing between BACnet networks such as BACnet/IP, BACnet Ethernet, and BACnet MS/TP allowing the system integrator to mix BACnet network technologies within a single BACnet inter-network.

4 In addition, the BASrouterLX provides a high-speed processor, with advanced features that include MS/TP slave proxy support (allowing auto discovery of MS/TP slaves), MS/TP frame capture and storage for use with Wireshark . Up to 50 BBMD entries can be your jace s Modbus TrafficAlthough the jace has the ability to communicate Modbus RTU overone of its serial ports, Modbus points cannot be discovered like BACnet points requiring manual configuration of each Modbus register. By using external Modbus RTU to BACnet gateways, with pre-defined Modbus device profiles, configuration of Modbus registers is just as quick as configuring BACnet points allowing to greatly reduce the time to configure Modbus devices in the field.

5 Our BASgatewayLX Modbus to BACnet Gateway provides a 10/100 Mbps Modbus TCP or BACnet/IP Ethernet port and an opto-isolated Modbus EIA-485 serial port for Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII devices. Up to 30 Modbus serial devices (represented by up to 1000 polled points) can share the single Modbus port on the BASgatewayLX. The virtual routing feature in the BASgatewayLX allows each connected Modbus device to appear as an individual BACnet compliant device which can save configuration time if using multiple identical Modbus devices. A device profile for each Modbus type device is needed and Contemporary Controls maintains a library of common device profiles.

6 If one is not available, we will be glad to provide it upon request. In addition, custom device profiles can be uploaded to the BASgatewayLX. Using web pages and a resident database of common Modbus device profiles, Modbus data points from Modbus Serial or Modbus TCP devices can be mapped to BACnet Control your JACES ingle-tool Solution Niagara Workbench is an indispensable solution for programming and maintaining a Niagara system however, it is seldom used with field controllers because the controllers do not incorporate Contemporary Control s line of Sedona controllers, the BAScontrol20 and BASremote, the Niagara Workbench tool can be used with both Niagara and Sedona controllers greatly simplifying commissioning/programming thus making the Niagara Workbench a one-tool BAScontrol20 20-point Powered by Sedona Framework field controller provides a direct connection to an Ethernet network.

7 It is the perfect solution for structured wiring systems; the BAScontrol20 is BACnet/IP compliant with a B-ASC device profile. Having a resident Sedona Virtual Machine (SVM), the unit is freely programmable using tools mentioned - Niagara Workbench or Sedona Workbench .Our BASremote BACnet/IP Controller/Gateway BASremote provides the system integrator a flexible building block when integrating diverse building automation protocols or when expanding the number of points in a building automation system. The BASremote supports BACnet/IP and Sedona Framework (SOX). For small systems, it can operate stand-alone. For larger systems, it can communicate to supervisory controllers via Ethernet.

8 The BASremote can also act as a gateway for Modbus-RTU/Modbus TCP devices to WaYSEnhancE your jace 5 Remote Access Network ControlNetwork FOXEIPR-V Wireless RouterCTRLink Sensors/IP/IPEISK5-100T-Diagnostic Switch CTRLink BASremoteBAScontrol20 Actuators Pulse DevicesControl your jace with BAScontrol20 and BASremote controllers /IP/IPModbus Device BAS Switch DeviceMS/TP Device BASgatewayLXBAS routerBASrouterLXMS/TPSerial/IP/IPModbus Device BAS Switch DeviceMS/TP Device BASgatewayLXBAS routerBASrouterLXMS/TPSerialOffload your jace with the BASgatewayLXRemote your jace with the BAScloudVPN remote hosting service Offload your jace with the BASrouter or BASrouterLXEasily Network your JACEThe jace has two Ethernet ports.

9 Protocols such as BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP utilize Ethernet. Ethernet offers a choice of speed - up to 1GB - and a choice of cabling options - twisted pair and fiber optics. Contemporary Controls produces a line of Ethernet switches that fit nicely in the panel with the jace . Our cost-effective, compact EISK5-100T, 10/100 Mbps 5 port switch, can expand the jace s number of connections allowing for the configuration and /or programing of the jace without needing to remove cables from the jace . The 100 Mbps performance on the ports accommodates a range of control devices and workstations commonly found in automation projects.

10 For 10 Mbps legacy devices, the switch will automatically reduce its port-speed diagnostic switches, which includes our EISK5-100T/H diagnostic switch, easily allows tools such as Wireshark to capture the communications between the jace and any connected Ethernet devices. Standard switches will not allow protocol analyzers such as Wireshark to capture most of the communications between Ethernet devices. The EISK5-100T/H diagnostic switch will allow a PC running Wireshark to capture all communications between the jace and connected switches allow you to manage your network. Our line of managed switches provide diagnostic information for Ethernet communications and allow for the creation of redundant Ethernet networks for greater the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
