GTC201104TXRB578 Ethernet to RF Protocol Converter

1 Copyright 2014 INNCOM by Honeywell 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.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Modifications not expressly approved by INNCOM International Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 3 Copyright 2014 INNCOM by Honeywell Mounting Considerations The B578 Network Controllers are designed for mounting in a variety of applications. The bottom housing is equipped with a channel and tab for DIN rail mounting and therefore does not require any additional screws or hardware for installation. For screw-mounted applications, there are 4 countersunk holes located in the bottom housing that can be accessed by removing the top cover and Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA). Figure 3 B578 Network The B578 can be attached to an X-type DIN rail. To attach the B578 to a DIN rail, pull the tab (Figure 3) down and attach the bottom of the housing to the DIN rail (always mount the DIN rail with the tab at the bottom). Once the unit is sitting flush on the rail, release the tab. To remove the B578 from the DIN rail, pull the tab down and lift the bottom edge of the unit off the DIN rail first. This ensures that the cable, cable channels, and connections are always aligned in the correct orientation in a daisy-chained application. Please note that the above picture is from the INNCOM QC lab. In field deployment, B578s will typically be distributed throughout the building. Figure 2 DIN Rail Mounting 4 Copyright 2014 INNCOM by Honeywell Figure 4 Top Housing Removal To gain access to headers and connectors located on the PCBA, remove the B578 from the DIN rail or NEMA box enclosure. Using a flat screw driver, lift the top housing away from the snap tangs on the bottom housing. Figure 5 Mounting Screw Locations To screw mount the B578, open the B578 as described above and…

The product is B578. It is a transmitter that operates in the range 2402 - 2480MHz. We found that the product met the above requirements. The test samples were received in good condition. Test Methodology Radiated emission testing was performed according to the procedures specified in ANSI C63.4 (2003) and RSS-GEN. Radiated Emissions were maximized by rotating the device around three orthogonal axes (x, y and z) as well as varying the test antenna’s height and polarity. The device antenna cannot be maximized separately. AC Main conducted emission was performed with a 50Ω/50μH LISN. The product was tested with modulation on and peak readings were compared against the average limit presented in section CFR 15.249. The EUT operating voltage is 120Vac/60Hz. The following bandwidths were used during radiated spurious and line conducted emissions. F…
