Adding BACnet/IP Automation Equipment to an MS/TP Network
Usually when you think of adding a router you think of
BACnet/IP at the automation level and BACnet MS/TP
at the field level. However, it is quite possible to have
an MS/TP network with both clients and servers
functioning successfully at only the field level and
finding out that the field equipment that needs to be
added has only a BACnet/IP interface. The BASrouter
will work fine in this application as well. Simply
connect the BASrouter between the BACnet MS/TP
network and the BACnet/IP device. There will be no
speed improvement to the overall internetwork, but the
new equipment will be connected.
