The ASPECT Control Engine provides embedded runtime and a web UI, enabling faster commissioning and remote configuration, which translates to reduced on-site visits and shorter project timelines. This translates to lower labor costs and quicker validation of control logic in real-world applications. Two RS-485 ports support BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU, giving you flexible protocol compatibility and easier integration with a wide range of legacy devices, while the 10/100 Ethernet port with TCP/IP supports BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP for modern networked systems. The ability to configure data rates from 9.6 to 115.2 kbps and scale to 64 MS/TP devices per port ensures predictable performance in dense field networks and simplifies migration paths. Field upgradeability to 2,500 points and 128 devices makes this controller future-proof for expanding facilities. Its compact dimensions (90 mm x 57 mm x 163 mm) and light 0.3 kg weight streamline installation in crowded panels, reducing enclosure space requirements and wiring complexity. Compliance with RoHS, CE, and WEEE supports procurement and regulatory alignment, while ETIM 9 alignment (EC011487) aids in accurate product classification in procurement systems.

FAQs
Installation starts with confirming power is supplied by 24 V within 19.2–28.8 V DC range and the device is mounted in an IP20-rated enclosure. Connect the two RS-485 ports to BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU networks and wire the RJ-45 Ethernet port for TCP/IP connectivity. The web UI simplifies configuration, reducing现场 commissioning time, while the embedded ASPECT runtime ensures local processing without external controllers. Confirm the system supports up to 64 MS/TP devices per port and plan the upgrade path to 2,500 points and 128 devices as your network grows.
Key specs include 9.6–115.2 kbps baud rate on RS-485 ports, two independent RS-485 ports plus a 10/100 Ethernet port with TCP/IP. It supports BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU protocols, with TCP/IP coverage for BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP. The unit is rated IP20 and operates from -25 to 50 °C, drawing about 20 VA. It handles up to 1,750 points at base configuration and up to 2,500 points with field upgrades, enabling scalable control for mid-sized facilities.
Yes. The combination of BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU on RS-485, along with BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP on Ethernet, makes it ideal for integrating legacy field devices with modern BAS and process control networks. Its compact form factor fits electrical panels with limited space, while the embedded ASPECT runtime minimizes external dependencies. It supports scalable growth from 64 MS/TP devices up to 128 total devices and 2,500 points, aligning with evolving facility requirements.
This device is CE marked and RoHS compliant, with WEEE categorization for small equipment. It also references Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and ETIM 9 classification (EC011487) for standardized product categorization. These certifications simplify procurement, safety, and regulatory adherence in most industrial environments.
Field upgradeability to 2,500 points and 128 devices reduces the need for early hardware refreshes, lowering capital expenditures and maintenance cycles. The embedded web UI speeds commissioning and remote diagnostics, cutting labor costs. Combined with Ethernet TCP/IP support for modern networks and compatibility with existing BACnet/MS/TP devices, this translates to faster project delivery and longer useful life within automation and control systems.
