BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP

BACnet/IP leverages standard Ethernet infrastructure for high-speed communication and effortless integration with existing IP networks. Contemporary Controls' BACnet/IP solutions offer advantages like easy scalability, remote access, and compatibility with various BACnet-compliant devices.

On the other hand, BACnet MS/TP utilizes a master-slave/token-passing method over a two-wire RS-485 network, known for its reliability and cost-effectiveness, making it a preferred choice for simpler or smaller-scale systems. Contemporary Controls' BACnet MS/TP products provide robust communication and enable the integration of MS/TP devices into larger BACnet/IP networks.

Contemporary Controls offers a variety of BACnet routers and gateways that can be configured to meet specific project requirements. Their products are known for their ease of use, reliability, and advanced features like BBMD (BACnet Broadcast Management Device) functionality, enabling efficient broadcast message management in BACnet/IP networks. 

The most popular Contemporary Controls router on our website is the BASRT-B BACnet/IP to MS/TP to Ethernet router. It seamlessly bridges the networks and enables communication between devices using different protocols, facilitating data exchange and control across diverse building automation systems. With its DIN rail mounting and compact design, the BASRT-B is easy to install and maintain, making it a practical solution for integrating disparate BACnet networks.

Modbus and Modbus TCP

Contemporary Controls provides a comprehensive suite of Modbus solutions, catering to both Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP communication protocols, to facilitate seamless integration and communication across various systems.

Contemporary Controls offers a wide array of Modbus devices, including I/O modules, gateways, and controllers, enabling the connection of various field devices like sensors, actuators, and meters to a central control system.

Modbus TCP, an extension of Modbus RTU, leverages Ethernet networks for communication, enabling efficient data exchange and remote monitoring and control of industrial processes. Contemporary Controls offers Modbus TCP gateways and controllers that seamlessly integrate Modbus RTU devices into Ethernet-based networks. Known for their reliability, flexibility, and ease of use, Contemporary Controls' Modbus solutions offer features like data logging, alarm management, and remote configuration, making them a valuable asset for various industrial and automation applications.
