KMC Controls BAC-5051AE ROUTER: BACNET, IP / DUAL ENET / SINGLE MSTP

The KMC Controls BAC-5051AE is a multi-port BACnet router. It is powerful enough for heavy network traffic and small enough to use as a control technician’s service tool.

Features include:

Routing Install the BAC-5051AE for BACnet IP, Ethernet, and MS/TP routing. IP routing is fully compliant with BACnet Standard 134-2012, Annex J. Dual IP ports can be set up for normal BACnet IP network routing, BACnet broadcast management device (BBMD) with network and port address translation, foreign device registration (BBMD), or PAD (packet assembling/disassembling) routing.
Browser Configuration Configure the BAC-5051AE using only an Internet browser. There is no special software to learn or load.
Flexible Mounting Two mounting choices for permanent installations–DIN rail or surface mount.
Diagnostics Embedded metrics include: total number of devices, frame counts, frames in error, data frames, duplicate MAC addresses, token passing, and poll-for-master count.
MS/TP Diagnostics Capture Troubleshoot MS/TP issues by capturing, saving, and analyzing network traffic. Data is saved in industry standard .pcap files.
Automatically Learns Networks Detects and configures routing for the actual discovered networks.
Enable and Disable Routing Use the router as a diagnostic tool to monitor traffic without routing traffic.
VAV Airflow Balancing Use with an Internet browser as an airflow balancing tool for BAC-8000 and BAC-9000 series VAV controllers.
AFMS Configuration Use the router to set up an Airflow Measurement System (AFMS).
Zone Configuration Use the router to set up a BAC-120063CW-ZEC zoning Flexstat.
