INNCOM B578 Datasheet
Overview
INNCOM’s multifunctional controller works in three configurations to facilitate different
Integrated Room Automation System (IRAS) operations:
 As the B578S Edge Router, it networks Ethernet to INNCOM’s Deep Mesh RF
network. It provides backhaul networks with up to 200
*
rooms per PAN ID. It
supports multiple IP protocols (UDP, ICMP). The expanded addressing facilitates
transport reliability and multicasting. The Edge Router enhances security and
offers RF-to-Ethernet protocol conversion, with the availability of a PoE power supply for Power over Ethernet
applications.
 As the B578N, the Edge Router interfaces with the Tridium Niagara JACE (Java Application Control Engine)
controller to provide connectivity to numerous common network protocols such as LonWorks and BACNet, as
well as proprietary networks.
 As the PC-803, the device acts as a protocol converter, converting in-room RF traffic to Ethernet towards the
server.
Note: The device will generally be referred to as the “B578” throughout this
document. Statements specific to a particular configuration will be noted
accordingly.
Features
 Supports CBL32 control algorithms
 RS485 System Interface dongle
 10MBit Ethernet
 Available in PoE and +12VDC powered models
 128 bit AES encryption (Ethernet link and RF network)
 Typical indoor RF range up to 100ft
 Supports 2.4Ghz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceiver
 Supports S5bus (through external adapter)
 Compact physical dimension
 DIN rail mounting option (Figure 1)
 Wall or ceiling mount on standard 2-gang ring (Figure 2)
 Supports up to 200 rooms depending on the guestroom application deployed and the selected RF environment
at the site.
 4 kBytes mailbox memory usable as a relay-buffer for battery operated devices (Edge Router)
 IPv6 support (Edge Router)
*
The 200 device limit is based on timing considerations used by the communication protocols of a Deep Mesh network. Local RF interference
sources, conditions, and device placement can decrease this number.
