IP Gateway & OpenBAS Integration:
- Use one or more ETH3s as IP gateways for OpenBAS controller networks.
- Effortlessly configure and manage controllers with our free System Design Studio software.
- Enable seamless integration to upstream BACnet/IP and Modbus/TCP systems.
Efficient Project Workflow:
- Organize and map controllers in System Design Studio as they are physically connected.
- Connect a USB flash memory stick for automatic script backups after successful configuration from script.
- Batch programming lets you select and automatically configure multiple controllers sequentially from their dedicated script files. With multiple ETH3s, simultaneous programming threads are possible (e.g., two threads with two ETH3s).
OpenBAS MiPages For AI:
- Vibe code your way to real-time custom graphics and dashboards or build them using a simple copy/paste HTML template.
- MiPages communicate directly with downstream OpenBAS controllers, regardless of protocol.
- Integrate up to 1000 COM1, 1000 COM2, and 250 IP “Remote points” from third-party BACnet/IP, Modbus/TCP, BACnet/MSTP, Modbus/RTU, or N2-Open devices.
- Enhance existing third-party BAS systems by adding fully custom graphics powered by MiPages.
Integrated PLC Engine:
- Powerful logic engine supports up to 800 ladder rungs/instructions, programmable via script or ladder logic.
- OpenBAS scripting empowers you to rapidly configure not just control logic, but device settings as well which enables fast, repeatable, and scalable deployments unmatched in the industry.
- Capable of triggering up to 10 customizable email notifications*.
*Requires a separate email host whose requirements may necessitate a TLS proxy such as Stunnel.
Advanced Protocol Conversion:
- Acts as a converter between BACnet/IP, BACnet/MSTP, Modbus/TCP, Modbus/RTU, and N2-Open across two RS485 ports and IP.
- Configure up to 1,000 Remote points each on COM1 and COM2 (2,000 total); BACnet/MSTP supported on COM1 (Present Value’s), Modbus/RTU and N2-Open on both.
- 250 IP remote points available from up to 20 IP devices, supporting any mix of BACnet/IP and Modbus/TCP.
- Quickly configure Remote points in a text-based script file or define Remote points in Excel, then copy and paste them into your script to streamline large projects.
- Use Math instructions to format or scale values; the Assign instruction copies data from one Remote point to another. Each Assign instruction supports two individual assignments, enabling well over 1,000 protocol conversions.
Full-Featured Diagnostics & Debugging:
- Advanced BACnet/MSTP debugging tool (usable even in non-OpenBAS installations) with real-time network stats (active devices, highest address, average token loop time).
- Generate detailed per-device BACnet/MSTP reports (up to 32 devices per report), including MaxPFM (poll for master), tokens received/missed counts, PFM count, Reply to PFM count, Data expecting/not expecting reply counts, and more.
- Modbus/RTU packet capture tool for advanced troubleshooting.
Rich Scheduling & Data Logging:
- 200 schedules, 16 timers, and 300 EEPROM setpoints for wide-ranging automation tasks.
- Trend up to 10 points (trends or histories) at intervals as frequent as 1 minute to a CSV file on a connected USB flash memory stick for easy analysis and export.
High-Speed SPI Expansion Port:
- Dedicated SPI port (10-pin ribbon cable) connects directly to a single NX10 series OpenBAS controller (8x dry contact relays, 8x 0–10V inputs, 2x 0–10V outputs).
- Further expand IO by connecting up to four additional (five total) NX10 controllers by RS485 wiring, scaling to 40 relays, 40 universal inputs, and 10 analog outputs, all seamlessly managed as a single IP-connected controller.
- Integrate other OpenBAS or third-party controllers through Remote points or IP remote points via RS485 COM ports or Ethernet.
Flexible Integration with Open Platforms:
- Supports BACnet/IP and Modbus/TCP for typical upstream integrations.
- Supports our Arduino Query Language over IP (Telnet) and COM ports, ideal for connecting Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
- Alternatively, leverage ETH3’s Modbus capabilities with third-party Modbus client libraries for Python and other platforms.
Secure Remote Connectivity & Future Proofing:
- System Design Studio configurator supports Cloudflare tunnels for secure remote connections, no VPN required for end users.
- Easily upgrade firmware via USB cable for access to new features and improvements.
Industrial-Grade Reliability and Performance:
- Integrated real-time clock and calendar with battery backup for dependable timekeeping.
- COM1/COM2 RS485 drivers rated ≤ ¼ unit load for maximum network segment capacity.
