| Contemporary Controls Introduces BAS Remote Expansion Module | ||
|
||
 July 1, 2008 - Contemporary Controls new BAS Remote Expansion Modules (BASR-8X) can be daisy-chained together to the BAS Remote Master (BASR-8M) to meet specific I/O requirements at a cost and space savings. With the addition of three compact BASR-8X modules, the BASR-8M can be expanded to a total of 32 Universal I/O points and 8 relay contacts to suit any building automation installation. The configurable Universal I/O can support BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP points. They are both analog inputs and analog outputs, in addition to accommodating a contact closure. Digital inputs can accept pulse trains in the range of 0 to 40 Hz (50% duty cycle) to measure flow rates. Unlike conventional expansion modules, the web page that resides in the master allows users to configure each of the expansion ports without requiring dip switches. The BASR-8X offers a total BACnet solution at a $295 price with availability scheduled for mid-August. Contemporary Controls has been in business for more than three decades and our first customers are still transacting business with us, requesting components to meet all automation market needs. The changes in the industry shaped the company’s direction to the design and manufacture of products for automating processes and intelligent buildings. Although the company remains in the forefront of ARCNET technology, it is being recognized for its achievements in the CTRLink line of BACnet connectivity and Ethernet infrastructure devices as well as its commitment to CAN/DeviceNet technology. |
