LIOB-562 Module BACnet/IP

The LIOB‑562 Modules communicate over Ethernet/IP in the BACnet/IP and BACnet/SC network. They adhere to the BACnet Building Controller Profile (B-BC) and either expose their I/ O data points through BACnet server objects or actively fetch them from a BACnet server via BACnet client maps.

According to the B-BC profile, the LIOB‑562 Modules support BACnet alarming, scheduling, and trending. They are BTL tested and certified.

Communication

The LIOB‑562 I/ O Modules are equipped with two Ethernet ports including a built-in Ethernet switch. This allows for building a daisy-chained line topology of up to 20 devices, which reduces costs for network installation. Dual Ethernet port devices also allow the setup of a redundant Ethernet installation (ring topology), which increases reliability. The redundant Ethernet topology is enabled by the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which is supported by most managed switches.

The LIOB‑562 Modules are equipped with a web interface to query the device status and display or change each data point of the module. In addition to the BACnet object interface, the I/ O data points are exposed by the integrated OPC server providing TLS encrypted web services (OPC XML‑DA) or UA Secure Conversation (OPC UA). The local display can be accessed via VNC.

LIOB‑IP Mode

The LIOB‑562 Modules can be switched to LIOB‑IP mode using manual local operation. In LIOB‑IP mode, the LIOB‑562 Modules extend L‑INX Automation Servers, L‑ROC Room Controllers, and L-IOB I/ O Controllers with physical inputs and outputs via plug and play.

Local Operation and Override

All L‑IOB I/O Modules are equipped with an LCD display (128×64) with backlight and jog dial for manual local operation. Device and data point information is displayed in text form and via graphical symbols.

L‑INX I/O integration through LIOB‑IP via plug and play.

Plug and play I/O integration through LIOB‑IP. In BACnet mode, LIOB‑BIP devices communicate through BACnet/IP.
