Modern buildings are rapidly evolving toward intelligent, connected, and energy-efficient systems. From HVAC and lighting to access control and energy management, Building Automation Systems (BAS) require reliable data acquisition, protocol integration, and centralized control.
The BA100 Building Automation Gateway from BeiLai (BLIIOT) Technology is designed to serve as a powerful edge gateway that bridges field devices and upper-level management platforms, enabling seamless integration and intelligent operation across building environments.
The BA100 is an industrial-grade Building Automation Gateway developed on an embedded ARM architecture and Linux operating system, ensuring high reliability and long-term stability in building environments.
It supports both downlink field protocols and uplink building automation protocols, making it ideal for multi-vendor, multi-protocol building systems.
Key capabilities include:
Multi-protocol conversion and data aggregation
High-density device access
Secure network communication
Remote management and maintenance
One of the core challenges in building automation is protocol diversity. The BA100 addresses this with comprehensive protocol support:
Modbus RTU Master
Modbus TCP Master
This allows the BA100 to connect directly to:
HVAC controllers
VAV boxes
Energy meters
Temperature, humidity, and air quality sensors
BACnet/IP
BACnet MS/TP
With native BACnet support, the BA100 integrates smoothly with mainstream Building Management Systems (BMS), enabling real-time monitoring, centralized control, and historical data analysis.
The BA100 is designed for large-scale building deployments:
Supports up to 50 field devices
Handles up to 4,000 data points
Equipped with 6 RS485/RS232 serial ports
Dual Ethernet ports (WAN + LAN) for flexible network topology
This makes it suitable for:
Office buildings
Commercial complexes
Hospitals
Hotels
Data centers
By aggregating data at the edge, the BA100 reduces network load and improves system responsiveness.
Building automation systems demand long-term stability. The BA100 delivers this through industrial-grade hardware design:
Wide DC 9–36V power input with reverse-polarity protection
EMC-compliant design with ESD and EFT protection
Hardware and software watchdogs for system reliability
DIN-rail or wall mounting, ideal for control cabinets
Its compact form factor allows easy installation in electrical rooms and automation panels.
The BA100 supports multiple network access methods:
Ethernet
Optional WiFi
It also includes advanced software features:
OpenVPN support for secure remote access
Remote configuration and firmware upgrades
System diagnostics including CPU, memory, and disk usage monitoring
These features significantly reduce on-site maintenance costs and enable centralized operation across multiple buildings.
The BA100 can be widely deployed in building automation projects, including:
HVAC system monitoring and control
Energy management and sub-metering
Lighting automation systems
Environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity, CO₂)
Integration of legacy Modbus devices into BACnet BMS platforms
It acts as a reliable bridge between field equipment and smart building platforms.
The BA100 Building Automation Gateway from BeiLai (BLIIOT) Technology provides a robust, flexible, and scalable solution for modern building automation systems. With strong protocol compatibility, high data capacity, industrial reliability, and remote management capabilities, it helps building operators achieve smarter control, improved energy efficiency, and reduced operational costs.
BA100 is not just a gateway — it is a key enabler for intelligent buildings.
