Retrofit BACnet Functionality

2020 11 23

BACnet is one of the most common communication protocols used in building automation. Recognizing this, WAGO is now offering a firmware extension for its range of PFC200 Controllers and Touch Panel 600 units; the extension can be used to activate existing devices by licensing for BACnet/IP. This addition allows a large number of BACnet objects to be automated with just one PFC200 Controller or Touch Panel 600. With the powerful, Linux®-based Touch Panels and BACnet licenses, control and visualization of larger building automation projects can be implemented on a single device. The devices act as BACnet Building Controllers (BBC) per BACnet Revision 14. The BTL listing means that they meet the typical requirements found within tenders. WAGO offers two different licenses: one supplies up to 256 BACnet objects, the other has no limitations.

Your Benefits:

  • Use existing products with BACnet/IP
  • Automating a very large number of BACnet objects
  • Control and visualization in one device for cost-effective solutions
  • Scalability through different licenses
