BASremote – Versatile BACnet/IP Controller/Gateway

The BASremote series provide the system integrator a
exible building block when integrating diverse
building automation protocols or when expanding the
number of points in a building automation system.
With the release of version 3.7.0, support for open

Modbus to include Sedona Framework™ SOX. For small
systems, it can operate stand-alone. For larger systems,
it can communicate to supervisory controllers via
Ethernet. Depending upon the model, the BASremote
has the exibility to provide the following:

system protocols now goes beyond BACnet® and

BASremote Master – Versatile BACnet/IP Controller/Gateway

The BASremote Master provides the ultimate in exibility. It
can be used for expansion I/O at remote locations where
an Ethernet connection exists. Its built-in router and
gateway capabilities address unique integration needs
where more than one communications protocol is involved.
It can operate as a function block programmable controller
with its resident Sedona Framework 1.2 virtual machine.
Powered by a Linux engine, the BASremote Master can
operate as BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP remote I/O, Sedona
Framework controller, Modbus Serial to Modbus TCP router,
Modbus Serial to BACnet gateway, and Modbus master to

TCP, BACnet/IP, and Sedona SOX. Six universal I/O points and
two relay outputs can be congured through resident web
pages using a standard web browser and without the need
of a special programming tool. A 2-wire Modbus serial port
can greatly expand the I/O count with the addition of
Modbus slaves. If BACnet mapping is preferred, the unit
incorporates a Modbus serial to BACnet/IP gateway
— capable of processing up to 1000 points. The BASremote
Master also allows you to install custom web pages so you
can view the status of your system in a convenient

manner.
attached Modbus slaves all at the same time. A 10/100
Mbps Ethernet port allows connection to IP networks and
popular building automation protocols such as Modbus

Universal I/O

Using web pages, six points can be congured as either inputs or outputs, analog or digital. In addition to being discoverable as BACnet

objects, these same points can be assigned Modbus addresses.

• Analog inputs: 0–10 VDC, 0–20 mA but scalable to 0–5 VDC and 4–20 mA

• Temperature inputs: Type II or Type III thermistors

• Contact closure or Pulse inputs: Free-voltage, 40 Hz maximum

• Analog outputs: 0–10 VDC, 0–20 mA

Additional universal I/O can be achieved with the simple

addition of BASremote Expansion modules.

Powered by Sedona Framework for Implementing Control

The BASremote Master incorporates Sedona Virtual
Machine (SVM) technology developed by Tridium and
compatible with their Niagara Framework™. Using
established Tridium tools such as Niagara Workbench
or Sedona Workbench, a system integrator can develop a
control application using Workbench’s powerful drag-and­drop visual programming methodology. Once developed,

Tridium’s Sedona Workbench or Niagara Workbench

can be used to program Sedona running in the BASremote.

the program remains stored in the BASremote Master and
executes by way of the SVM. The application can run
standalone in the BASremote Master or interact with a
program in a Tridium JACE supervisory controller over
Ethernet. The number of potential applications is only
limited by the imagination of the system integrator.

The BASremote’s Sedona Framework logic

can operate on its own I/O as well as that of

connected Modbus Serial or TCP devices.

Also, a network connected Niagara
Framework device can read or modify the
operating state of the Sedona Framework

function blocks.
