PROTOCOL IMPLEMENTATION CONFORMANCE STATEMENT
APPLICABLE PRODUCTS
- All Products Using Crimson 2.0 or Crimson 3.0 BACnet Slave Drivers
- G3 Series of HMI
- Data Station Plus Series and Modular Controller Series
PRE-REQUISITES
- Crimson 2.0 Build 2.0.0.324 and Later
- All Builds of Crimson 3.0 and up
- BACnet Version 1, Revision 5
IN THIS ARTICLE
The products are advanced data-management devices that perform protocol conversion and data logging, and also provide a web-based virtual HMI facility. The G3 HMI products combine this functionality with color touchscreens for local viewing. The products support BACnet slave and master modes, over MS/TP, 802.3 and UDP/IP.
*While BACnet is a peer-to-peer protocol, the Red Lion Controls implementation configures as a Master (client) or Slave (server).
