WECON PI8000ig HMI with BACnet/IP | Building Automation
WECON PI8000ig Series HMI with BACnet Integration
Building automation now demands seamless interoperability across HVAC, fire protection, security and IP video. The WECON PI8000ig Series HMI adds native BACnet support to help UK machine builders, control panel manufacturers and systems integrators connect multi-vendor devices on a single, secure platform.
What is BACnet?
BACnet (Building Automation and Control Networks) is a communications protocol designed for building management systems. It enables equipment from different manufacturers to exchange data reliably for common functions such as HVAC control, alarm monitoring and video integration.
Key Advantages of PI8000ig with BACnet/IP
- High levels of security: protect data flows and system integrity across building networks.
- Intelligent connectivity: simplifies integration between Ethernet equipment controllers and supervisory software.
- Up to 32 BACnet/IP server connections: scale projects without compromising responsiveness.
- Cross-vendor compatibility: connect to devices from multiple manufacturers to suit project needs.
Typical Applications
- Commercial buildings: unified control of HVAC, access/security and fire safety.
- Industrial facilities: environmental monitoring and equipment oversight from a single HMI.
- Smart infrastructure: interoperable subsystems for efficiency and uptime.
System Overview
The PI8000ig operates as a BACnet/IP client over TCP/IP, linking routers and open application servers to Ethernet equipment controllers. It can also communicate via Modbus, serial links and network video (ONVIF/RTSP) to consolidate supervisory views on one operator panel.
