Description

GC8846P is a POWERFULL BACnet B-BC class standalone controller with router function but can also be a communication bridge between workstation and field controllers. Onboard communications consist of 1 x 10/100M Ethernet port, 1 x MSTP port (32 Devices), 1 x selectable Modbus RTU or MSnet Port (direct connect HMI screens) and 1 x EIM Expansion port (24 Devices).

It is equipped with 8BI/8UI/4BO/6AO on-board as well as being able to expand to 24 more EIM expansion modules making it a very versatile product that can be used for small to large point projects. There are many features such as 365 day Time Clock/Holidays etc, 100 Trend Logs, 100 schedules, 1000 Av&Bv points. Bo’s have A/O/M switch & Ao’s have A/M switch with adjustable pot to regulate 0-10vdc output which is very useful for commissioning/Testing.

Features

  • BACnet Building Controller (B-BC) class listed device.
  • Compliance BACnet Ethernet, BACnet/IP, and MS/TP communication standards as a router. 
  • An Ethernet communication interface can be either BACnet Ethernet (ISO-8802-2) or the BACnet/IP communication protocol.
  • An MS/TP(Master-Slave/ Token-Passing) port, Peer to Peer communication. Can read (DS-RP-A/DS-RPM-A) and write (DS-WP-A) BACnet objects.
  • A RS-232 port for setting up initial device parameters using a null modem or AD-linker cable and a Terminal program such as HyperTerminal.
  • Di’s have 1000VDC optical isolate protection and status indicator LED’s.
  • 16 bit Ui’s, jumper selectable 3K or 10KΩ NTC thermistor, 4~20mA, or 0~10VDC, dry contact input signals.
  • Triac Do’s have 1000VDC optical isolate protection and status indicator LED’s. Each Do have a Manual OFF-ON/Auto switch with internal override Flag status that can be used to trigger events or Alarms.
