Native BACnet/IP. Built for Buildings. — Centralize HVAC, lighting, access control, and elevator monitoring.
You manage a building — HVAC, lighting, security, access control, elevators, water systems. Your building management system (BMS) speaks BACnet/IP. But your field devices — sensors, actuators, meters — often speak Modbus. Getting them to talk usually means expensive BACnet gateways or replacing perfectly good equipment.
The BA190 solves this problem. It is a native BACnet/IP controller that collects Modbus data from your field devices and exposes it as BACnet objects. Your BMS sees everything as standard BACnet points — analog inputs, binary outputs, etc. No custom integrations. No expensive BACnet gateways per device.
The BA190 is a standard BACnet/IP device. Your BMS discovers it like any other BACnet controller. Supports standard BACnet object types — analog input/output, binary input/output, etc. No proprietary drivers. No complex integrations. Just standard BACnet communication.
Collect data via Modbus RTU (RS485) or Modbus TCP. The BA190 automatically maps Modbus registers to BACnet objects. Your BMS reads and writes BACnet points. The BA190 handles the Modbus communication. No scripting. No custom mappings. Just configure once and integrate.
Choose 1, 2, or 3 Y Series I/O boards. Connect local sensors and actuators directly — no separate I/O modules needed. Digital, analog, RTD temperature, pulse — all available as BACnet objects.
The BA190 can execute local logic independently — even when the BMS is offline. Set up IF-THEN rules for lighting schedules, HVAC sequences, alarm conditions, and interlock controls. Your building keeps running even during network interruptions.
Two RJ45 ports with built‑in switch support line topology. Daisy‑chain multiple BA190 controllers without an external switch. Perfect for multi‑floor or multi‑wing building deployments.
Operating temperature from -40°C to +85°C. Install in mechanical rooms, rooftop units, parking garages, or outdoor enclosures. No need for climate‑controlled cabinets.
Remote firmware upgrades and parameter configuration are built in. Update devices in the field without sending a technician. Reduce downtime. Lower service costs.
Your BMS platform — Siemens, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Distech, or any BACnet/IP compliant system — needs to monitor and control distributed building equipment. Deploy BA190 at each equipment cluster — air handling units, lighting panels, pump skids, elevator controllers. Connect local sensors and Modbus devices. Your BMS sees everything through standard BACnet.
Existing building has Modbus‑based equipment — chillers, boilers, VFDs, power meters. You want to bring them into a modern BACnet BMS without replacing equipment. BA190 acts as a BACnet gateway for each Modbus device cluster. Keep existing equipment. Gain BACnet integration.
Monitor temperature, humidity, CO2, and light levels. Control fans, curtains, pumps, and heating. BA190 collects sensor data and executes local logic. BMS (or cloud) monitors everything via BACnet/IP. Perfect for large greenhouses and vertical farms.
Monitor ventilation fans, lighting systems, escalators, and environmental sensors. BA190 connects to Modbus sensors and actuators, exposes everything via BACnet/IP to the station BMS. Centralized monitoring and control across multiple stations.
Monitor battery status, temperature, and alarms in building‑scale energy storage systems. BA190 collects data from Modbus devices and reports to BMS via BACnet/IP. Integrate energy storage into your building's overall energy management strategy.
