BAC-5051AE | Router: BACnet, IP/Dual Enet/Single MSTP | KMC

The KMC BAC-5051AE is a versatile and powerful BACnet router designed for seamless integration and management of building automation systems. This compact device supports routing between BACnet/IP, Ethernet, and MS/TP networks, making it ideal for both large-scale deployments and smaller projects. 

The BAC-5051AE simplifies network configuration and diagnostics with its intuitive web browser interface, eliminating the need for specialized software. Its dual Ethernet ports offer enhanced network redundancy and flexibility for various applications, including BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD) functionality, network address translation (NAT), and foreign device registration. This router also supports advanced features like MS/TP network traffic capture and analysis, automatic network learning, and VAV airflow balancing. 

The BAC-5051AE's compact size and flexible mounting options (DIN rail or surface) make it suitable for diverse installation environments. Its robust performance, combined with user-friendly configuration and diagnostic tools, makes the BAC-5051AE a valuable asset for any building automation project. This router excels in optimizing network performance, simplifying troubleshooting, and improving overall system efficiency.

Router: BACnet, IP/ Dual Enet/Single MSTP

The KMC Controls BAC-5051AE is a multi-port BACnet router. It is powerful enough for heavy network traffic and small enough to use as a control technician’s service tool.

Features include:

Routing Install the BAC-5051AE for BACnet IP, Ethernet, and MS/TP routing. IP routing is fully compliant with BACnet Standard 134-2012, Annex J. Dual IP ports can be set up for normal BACnet IP network routing, BACnet broadcast management device (BBMD) with network and port address translation, foreign device registration (BBMD), or PAD (packet assembling/disassembling) routing.
Browser Configuration Configure the BAC-5051AE using only an Internet browser. There is no special software to learn or load.
Flexible Mounting Two mounting choices for permanent installations–DIN rail or surface mount.
Diagnostics Embedded metrics include: total number of devices, frame counts, frames in error, data frames, duplicate MAC addresses, token passing, and poll-for-master count.
MS/TP Diagnostics Capture Troubleshoot MS/TP issues by capturing, saving, and analyzing network traffic. Data is saved in industry standard .pcap files.
Automatically Learns Networks Detects and configures routing for the actual discovered networks.
Enable and Disable Routing Use the router as a diagnostic tool to monitor traffic without routing traffic.
VAV Airflow Balancing Use with an Internet browser as an airflow balancing tool for BAC-8000 and BAC-9000 series VAV controllers.
AFMS Configuration Use the router to set up an Airflow Measurement System (AFMS).
Zone Configuration Use the router to set up a BAC-120063CW-ZEC zoning Flexstat.
