BACNET/IP BBMD

The BBMD advances a BACnet broadcast message started by a BACnet/IP device on its subnet to others subnets with BACnet/IP devices. Upon landing in a destination subnet, the message is then show on that subnet.

BACNET/IP

BACnet IP utilizes a standard UDP/IP stack to send and get messages. Generally, the same packet that would be found on a MS/TP connection is encapsulated in a UDP/IP packet and called BACnet IP. Devices use IP locations and Ethernet MAC addresses like other UDP/IP system devices. There is no understanding of expert/slave token going since Ethernet is naturally parented in nature. Devices essentially transmit to their planned beneficiary voluntarily, and let Ethernet manage packet collisions and retries as required.

BACNET

BACnet is an open communications protocol for building automation and control networks. The standards are controlled and/or referenced by ASHRAE, BACnet International, ANSI, and ISO.

1785 PLC-5 Programmable Controller: 

The PLC-5 programmable controller brings together current and future systems through networks such as EtherNet/IP, ControlNet and DeviceNet, and offers connectivity among SLC 500, ControlLogix, and MicroLogix controllers.  Since they include embedded network connections, PLC-5 controllers enable your control architecture to be flexible enough to include cost-effective connections to a wide range of devices.

1785-ENET PLC MODULE

1758-ENET is an EtherNet/IP-Interface processor that gives the PLC-5 process an  Ethernet port. This gives embedded TCP/IP communication abilities that allows the PLC-5 processor to talk with other Ethernet devices.
