BAS-O-Matic B5020 Applications

Diagnose BACnet Communications 

Using the BAS-O-Matic, users can capture, decode and analyze over 50 IT protocols. The default Data Link Layers supported for BACnet are BACnet/P and

BACnet/Ethernet. In order to decode BACnet/MSTP, the U+4 hardware is required. Users can capture all the traffic on the network, and decode it for easy troubleshooting. Users can save time and effort in troubleshooting problems on a BACnet network. The captured and decoded packets are displayed in a very user friendly format that makes reading the contents of the packet and understanding the sender and intended receiver information a snap.

Diagnose Modbus RTU/TCP communications (U+4 Hardware Required)

The BAS-O-Matic also supports decoding of the Modbus TCP and RTU Protocols. These are optional decoders. Support for decoding the Modbus RTU requires the U+4 hardware.

BAS-O-Matic B5020 Description

BAS-o-matic is a protocol analyzer platform for Building Automation Professionals. This software contains extensive features for monitoring and analyzing BACnet and traditional IT networks. With BAS-o-matic you can view packet detail down to the lowest layers as well as a list of network connections, IP statistics, and bandwidth usage. Full access to raw data is also provided. Captured packets can be saved to log files for future analysis. A flexible system of filters makes it possible to drop packets you don't need or capture only those packets that you wish to capture.

This application is compatible with Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP system. Your computer will also need an Ethernet network card supporting the NDIS 3.0 driver standard. If you want to decode BACnet MS/TP then you will need to add a Cimetrics hardware device (a U+ device) which connects the RS485 network to your computer's USB port.

A complete list of IT protocols which BAS-o-matic decodes are: ARP, BCAST, BGP, BMP, CDP, DHCP, DIAG, DNS, EIGRP, FTP, GRE, HTTP, ICMP, ICQ, IGMP, IGRP,IPsec, IPv4, IPv6, IPX, HSRP, NCP, NDS, NetBIOS, NFS, NLSP, OSPF, POP3, PPP, PPPoE, RARP, RADIUS, RDP, RIP, RIPX, RPC, RSVP, RTSP, SAP, SER, SMB, SMTP, SNA, SNMP, SOCKS, SPX, TCP, TELNET, TFTP, UDP, VTP, WAP, WDOG, 802.1Q, 802.1X.

Standard BAS protocols are: BACnet / Ethernet and BACnet / IP, with optional BACnet MS/TP.
