BACnet Products -
BACnet/IP to BACnet MS/TP Router
This BACnet MS/TP router enables the use of standard Ethernet networks to position BACnet MS/TP devices where you most need them and interconnect them with other BACnet MS/TP devices or the head-end utilising standard Ethernet networks. The BACnet router routes messages between BACnet IP and BACnet MS/TP networks set out in the ANSI/ASHRAE 135(ISO 16484-5) standard. The unit is configurable via its own web page. This unit is housed in a metal case which mounts onto 35 mm DIN rail.
BAS Remote Product Family
The BAS Remote series of products provides the System Integrator with a flexible building block when integrating diverse building automation protocols or when expanding the number of points in a building automation system. By supporting open system protocols such as BACnet®, Modbus and Sedona Framework™ SOX, the BAS Remote series is easily adaptable.
Ethernet Switches -
eNode CNSEISK Ethernet Switches
EISK switches provide Plug and Play Ethernet connectivity for industrial automation systems which have unique requirements - convenient mounting, simple and dependable operation, low-voltage input power and especially cost-effective. These needs are met by the compact and rugged EISK5-100T and EISK8-100T family.
CNSEIPE Power over Ethernet Injector
The CNSEIPE Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Injector offers a simple method of connecting a single PoE end-device to a non-PoE 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch.
eNode IP/Ethernet 10/100 Switches
EIBA switches were specifically designed to provide plug-n-play Ethernet connectivity for Building Automation Systems (BAS) which have unique needs of convenient mounting, simple and dependable operation, low voltage AC/DC operation and low cost.
The EISM miniature switching hub is designed for use where space is at a premium because of shrinking panels and the space restrictions of small machines.
EISK switches were specifically designed to provide Plug-n-Play Ethernet connectivity for Building Automation Systems which have unique needs - convenient mounting, simple and dependable operation, low-voltage input power and especially low-cost.

- Lon Network (LNIPs) -
Products that provide structure and management of networks of LonWorks devices using the EIA709 LonTalk Protocol.
LonWorks Intelligent Din Router
Latest generation of LonWorks® Intelligent routers offering compact DIN mounted design, 230VAC & 24VAC supply and on-board selectable network termination.
Intelligent Lon Fibre Router
This product is not recommended for new system designs. Last time buy final order date is 29th June 2012
The router implements the full set of LonWorks® EIA/ANSI 709 router functions: Configured, Learning, Bridge or Repeater. It connects LonWorks twisted pair copper networks to LonWorks Fibre optic networks, or extends twisted pair networks over long distances or through harsh environments. The Fibre router can be used to create links and back-bones that connect copper LonWorks subsystems. This Fibre router implements the open standard LonTalk® EIA- 709 communications protocol. They are simple to install out of the box being fully compatible with all LNS based network management tools.

LonWorks Physical Layer Repeater
LonWorks Physical Layer Repeater Two & Three Channel - This is the latest generation of two and three channels devices which are used when you need to exceed the recommended maximum length of a wire. The repeater receives packets in one side and echoes them out of the other. This allows users to double the length of the wire as well as increasing the number of transceivers that can be placed onto the channel. By daisy chaining repeaters networks can be further extended.
The repeater does not give an increase in bandwidth as all packets are repeated on both sides, nor does it allow routing or filtering to be done. For this, you will need a router - for further information see CNS LonWorks® Intelligent DIN Router datasheet.
Lon TerminatorIII
As part of CNS's Lon Network Infrastructure Product Family (LNIPs) this product compliments our Compact LonRouter, LonRepeater family as well as our eNode™IV Lon/IP852 Routing products and LonFibre products. Termination is required on all cable networks in order to cancel out ghosts and reflections, which occur when signals are transmitted onto the cable. Without termination, the signal can be degraded beyond the ability of receivers to pick up and decode the signal. The degradation of signals is affected by the topology of the cable system i.e. how it is wired together.
Lon Network Interface Products -
LonWorks Serial Gateway
The Serial Gateway provides a serial interface between RS-232 or RS-485 and LONWORKS networks offering data transfer rates of up to 115.2 kbps. The Neuron chip maps the interface to the LON side.
Intelligent LonFibre Transceiver
Fibre optic interconnection is ideal for applications needing high throughput, expandability, immunity to electromagnetic interference or communications over long distances.
Maximum LonWorks® communication throughput is maintained on the fibre optic interconnect regardless of the distance or number of nodes attached. A fibre optic ring can implement multiple subnets with several hundred fibre optic nodes (the allowable number of nodes is a function of average link length and the fibre optic cable characteristics; 750 to 3,000 node capacity is typical). These capabilities make the next generation SMX transceiver ideal solutions for large projects with substantial message traffic as well as small projects to connect as few as two nodes together.
