One of the cornerstones of the EcoStruxure BMS is support for open standards. The AS-P-3 server can natively communicate with open standards such as BACnet (including BACnet/SC), Modbus, and LonWorks.
BACnet: The AS-P-3 server directly communicates to BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP networks, which provides access to MP and RP controllers, b3 BACnet devices, and BACnet devices. The AS-P-3 server also supports BACnet/SC applications as a BACnet/SC node, hub, and router. This allows the AS-P-3 server to be in BACnet/SC networks and support applications that connect BACnet/IP or MS/TP networks with BACnet/SC networks.
Modbus: The AS-P-3 server natively integrates Modbus RS-485 client and server configurations, as well as IP client and server. This integration provides access to devices that communicate on the Modbus protocol, such as power meters, circuit breakers, and lighting controllers.
LonWorks: The AS-P-L-3 model has a built-in FTT-10 port, which enables access to Xenta devices and LonWorks devices.
The AS-P-3 model does not support LonWorks.
