The Barix Barionet 100 is a universal, programmable I/O device server developed for the integration of sensors, actuators, and control devices in industrial and security applications. The device features an integrated web server, supports Modbus/TCP as well as SNMP, and thus enables remote monitoring and control over networks. It is designed for use in security and monitoring systems, such as access control, environmental monitoring, or PV power management. The devices are developed in Switzerland and are in use in numerous installations worldwide.

Applications

The Barionet 100 is suitable for a wide range of applications in the field of automation and monitoring. These include monitoring of door contacts and locking states, logging and alarming for environmental conditions, control of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as integration into photovoltaic management systems. The support for Wiegand interfaces makes the device particularly suitable for access control systems where communication with readers or door controllers is required.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features 4 digital inputs, which can be used to capture switching states, such as door contacts or switches. It provides 4 open-collector outputs with a voltage of 24 VDC, suitable for driving relays or other digital loads. Additionally, 2 relay outputs are integrated, each rated up to 250 VAC and 5 A, enabling control of higher loads. For analog measurements, 4 inputs with a measurement range of 0 to 5 VDC are available, which can be used, for example, to capture data from temperature or humidity sensors. The serial interfaces include an RS-232 port and an RS-422/485 port, enabling communication with legacy systems or industrial devices.

Technology Explained Simply

The Barionet 100 operates as an I/O device server, transmitting sensor data and control commands via network protocols such as Modbus/TCP and SNMP. The integrated web interface allows configuration and monitoring of the device via a standard web browser. Support for Dallas 1-wire enables connection of 1-wire sensors, such as temperature sensors, without additional power supply. The supply voltage ranges from 9 to 30 VDC, allowing flexible connection to various power sources. The device is UL-listed, confirming compliance with specific safety and quality standards in the USA.

Compatibility and Accessories

The device is compatible with various industrial protocols and can be integrated into existing networks. Suitable accessories available in the range include the IO12, which can serve as an extension for additional inputs and outputs. Combining the device with the IO12 allows expansion of I/O capacities without requiring additional network devices.

Mounting and Installation

Installation is typically carried out in an enclosure or at a suitable mounting location within the building. The device is powered by an external power supply in the range of 9 to 30 VDC. Connections are made via the designated terminals for digital, analog, and serial interfaces. Configuration is performed via the web interface, accessible over a network.

Advantages in Operation

The Barionet 100 offers high flexibility through its programmable logic and support for various protocols. The integrated web interface and SNMP support simplify remote maintenance and monitoring. The combination of analog, digital, and serial interfaces enables versatile connection of various sensors and actuators. The UL listing ensures compliance with safety standards, particularly in applications operated in the USA.
