Overview

The Babel Buster MX-73-V3 BACnet Router routes BACnet messages between BACnet IP and BACnet MS/TP networks. The MX-73-V3 BACnet Router can be a learning router or configured router, and includes BBMD support. The MX-73-V3 BACnet Router also provides slave proxy capability to answer to Who-Is messages on behalf of devices that do not support dynamic binding.

The Babel Buster MX-73-V3 BACnet Router can also operate as a BACnet gateway, reading and writing other BACnet devices and retaining a copy of object values in its own set of BACnet objects. The MX-73-V3 also provides an SNMPv3 server for additional gateway flexibility. The MX-73-V3 can be used to connect BACnet devices to an SNMPv3 network.

The MX-73-V3 is an upgrade alternate for BB2-7030 offering higher performance at a lower cost. Routing efficiency is improved and gateway capacity increased. The MX-73-V3 also provides a secure (https) web user interface.

Description

Control Solutions’ Babel Buster MX-73-V3 is a BACnet router, slave proxy, and client/server gateway that allows remapping objects from multiple slaves into one master. You can use the MX-73-V3 as just a router, just a client/server, or both at the same time. The MX-73-V3 also includes BBMD support. The MX-73-V3 is a performance upgrade of Control Solutions’ original BB2-7030 BACnet router.

The MX-73-V3 as a BACnet Router will route IP to MS/TP and vice versa via its local ports, and supports full router capability for multi-hop internetworks including via NAT WAN routers. Routing is simple to set up. Routing can be used without any other gateway features enabled. Routing can be configured or automatically learned.

The MX-73-V3 as a BACnet Client/Server Gateway will poll BACnet IP and/or BACnet MS/TP slaves or servers, and retain copies of selected object properties. Upstream clients may then query the MX-73-V3 to receive data originating from multiple devices.

The MX-73-V3 is an SNMP Agent that will respond to SNMP v1, v2c, or v3 requests. Local BACnet objects can be assigned to either of the branches of the local MIB for remote access by SNMP Managers. The local data may be accessed as scaled integer or 32-bit floating point (RFC 6340). An SNMP Get to the MX-73-V3 will read local objects and an SNMP Set will write the local objects. If local objects are mapped via the BACnet client to write to other BACnet devices, then SNMP Set will result in writing to a BACnet device.

The MX-73-V3 can send v1, v2c, or v3 traps or notifications based on threshold rules created via templates in the MX-73-V3’s web UI. When data in the local objects meets the rule criteria, the notification will be sent. Notifications can be triggered by reading other BACnet devices or by object values written to the MX-73-V3 by other BACnet devices.

The MX-73-V3 includes its own internal web server that provides a web based user interface for configuring the MX-73-V3. Configuration is done using simple templates, and each web page has an online help section at the bottom.
