Ethernet Infrastructure + BAS Router = Your Ideal Solution

Use Contemporary Controls’ BAS Router to Make the BACnet/IP to BACnet MS/TP Connection

Downers Grove, IL (March 25, 2008) - “Contemporary Controls’ BAS Router is designed specially for the next generation of building automation networks,” says Sales Manager Joe Stasiek. “Built with excellent hardware, the BASRT-B can help you increase operational efficiency and service flexibility.”  If you have BACnet MS/TP devices to install, but no MS/TP home run is available, use the BAS Router to make the BACnet/IP to BACnet MS/TP connection. With the BAS Router you can use the Ethernet infrastructure and locate the MS/TP devices where you need them. You can take advantage of the many MS/TP devices in the marketplace and connect them to any BACnet/IP enabled controller. And of course, if you’re trying to maintain a standard selection of spare MS/TP parts, you can employ the same MS/TP devices connected to MS/TP controllers as those connected to the BACnet/IP controller.This device routes between BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP networks as per the ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2004 standard. It allows BACnet/IP devices to communicate with MS/TP devices. The router is configurable via its webpage.

Wiremold/Legrand - Zone Cable Management Enclosures

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (March 17, 2008) – Wiremold/Legrand has broadened its offering of cable management solutions to include integrated zone cabling enclosures. Coupled with offerings from Ortronics/Legrand and Cablofil/Legrand, the Legrand brands offer a robust portfolio of solutions for data centers and IT infrastructures.

Under a sales and marketing agreement with American Access Technologies, Wiremold/Legrand provides enclosures that save space and increase flexibility by providing connectivity in drop ceiling or raised floor applications. These enclosures are plenum rated by UL and may be used in environmental air spaces.   Providing connectivity in a drop ceiling or raised floor not only conserves valuable space, but may provide the added benefit of reducing cooling requirements in potentially crowded equipment and data control rooms by moving active equipment to alternate sites. Further, deploying a zone cabling architecture, which integrates a remote consolidation point or zone enclosure reduces costs associated with moves, adds and changes over the lifetime of an installation.  For more information visit www.wiremold.com
