ASI Controls Networking and Interoperability

ASI Controls offers both BACnet-IP and BACnet-MS/TP interface options for OEM equipment control applications. ASI Controls new ASIC/2-8540-BAC supervisory controller combines a fully programmable controller with BACnet-MS/TP connectivity. ASI control systems and individual controllers can also integrate into existing BACnet networks with a BACnet front end by means of a BACport BACnet/IP interface portal.

The JASIC Open Systems line is powered by the Tridium NiagaraAX Framework™, which provides interoperability options with support for industry standard open protocols including BACnet™-IP, BACnet-MS/TP, LON™, Modbus, oBIX™, and others, enabling control solutions combining ASI Controls legendary performance and BACnet connectivity with Niagara Framework open interoperability. JASIC interoperability options open the door to cost-effective upgrades and retrofits of open control systems, and integrates legacy ASI systems into new BACnet environments.

ASI Controls provides multiple networking and interoperability options through its support for Niagara Framework, BACnet, Modbus RTU, and the OPC protocol. ASI Controls family of networking-related products includes the JASIC-700 High-Performance Open System Controller with Web Server, JASIC-600 Open System Controller with Web Server, JASIC Web Supervisor BACnet System Front End, EtherLink/3 serial-to-Ethernet router, BACport BACnet/IP interface portal, DAK color touch-screen operator panels, and the SINC/3-3000 supervisory controller and networking device. For networks of single-controller sites such as small box retail locations the ETH8540 Ethernet Expansion board and USB-to-Ethernet functionality of the ASIC/2-7540 provide cost-effective Ethernet networking connectivity options.

ASI WebLink, an OPC-client, provides web-enabled custom front ends on ASI Controls systems with ODBC query capability to interact with other ODBC-compliant databases.

ASIC/2 configurable controllers can serve as Modbus RTU Master for a network of Modbus RTU Slave devices on the local bus.

The DAK2000 series color touchscreen operator panels offer either 640x480 or 800x600 resolution full-color display with support for JPG, GIF and BMP graphics. ASI resellers can leverage the ASI library of animated 3D graphic images to provide easily navigable, intuitive DDC system front ends in a secure panel environment without relying on a computer. The DAK2000 offers an Ethernet port for remote configuration over a network, so you can remotely update the user interface without having to visit the site.
