The Barionet 1000 is a universal I/O device server from Barix, based on a Linux/OpenWRT operating system, designed for integrating various sensors, actuators, and peripheral devices into networks. The device allows complete user programming and is delivered with an OpenWRT image containing special drivers for Barionet hardware. Pre-installed are interpreters for the programming languages Python and Lua, enabling users to create individual scripts for controlling and evaluating connected devices. The Barionet 1000 is intended for use in industrial and technical applications, particularly in areas requiring flexible and expandable control logic.

Applications

The Barionet 1000 is suitable for a wide range of application scenarios, including control of access control systems and door openers, monitoring and documentation of environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, or air quality, and monitoring of contact switches. It can be used in photovoltaic systems for performance monitoring and also serves for temperature monitoring as well as control of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The versatility of the interfaces allows connection to various sensors and actuators, enabling use in different industries such as building technology, energy supply, or industrial automation.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features two USB host interfaces, which can be used to connect external devices such as storage media, cameras, or additional sensors. An integrated Wi-Fi connection compliant with the 802.11 b/g/n standard enables wireless network connectivity, allowing flexible integration into existing networks. Additionally, a serial port is available, suitable for communication with older or specific devices. The I/O functions include analog and digital inputs and outputs, relays, and support for Dallas 1-Wire technology, used for example with temperature sensors. These diverse interfaces allow broad connectivity with peripheral devices.

Technology Explained Simply

The Barionet 1000 is based on an OpenWRT system, known as a Linux derivative, developed for use in network devices such as routers or access points. This enables high flexibility in configuration and programming. The integrated IPv6 capability ensures compatibility with modern network protocols and allows direct network integration without additional gateways. The pre-installed interpreters for Python and Lua provide users with tools to implement custom logic, data processing, and control functions. Programmability is a key advantage, as it allows the device to be adapted to specific requirements without relying on proprietary software or hardware.

Compatibility and Accessories

The device is designed for use with a wide range of sensors and actuators that can be connected via the integrated interfaces. Support for Dallas 1-Wire enables connection of temperature sensors communicating via a simple cabling system. The Wi-Fi connection allows integration into existing WLAN infrastructures.

Mounting and Installation

The Barionet 1000 is delivered in a standard DIN rail housing, enabling mounting on standard DIN rails in enclosures or control cabinets. Installation is performed by securing the device to the rail, with electrical connections made via the integrated I/O interfaces. The network connection can be established via Wi-Fi or through a separate network cable, with Wi-Fi enabling wireless integration into existing networks. Configuration is done via the OpenWRT interface, accessible through a web interface or SSH.

Advantages in Operation

The full programmability of the Barionet 1000 enables operators to implement individual control logic and reaction sequences. Support for IPv6 and Wi-Fi ensures modern network integration, while the variety of I/O interfaces allows flexible connection of various devices. Development in Switzerland and manufacturing in the EU underscore the quality and reliability of the device. The 2-year warranty provides additional security for operation. The combination of open-source software and flexible hardware makes the Barionet 1000 a robust solution for decentralized control and monitoring tasks.
