Contemporary Controls BASRT-B – BACnet Router for BACnet/IP, MS/TP, and Ethernet (DIN-Rail Mount)
The BASRT-B from Contemporary Controls is a compact, industrial-strength BACnet router designed to facilitate communication between BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, and BACnet Ethernet networks. Ideal for contractors, engineers, and facility operators, it provides a streamlined solution for integrating multiple BACnet protocols into a single, coordinated system—especially useful in retrofit jobs, distributed building automation systems, or segmented network applications.
Whether you're tying in MS/TP field controllers like VAVs or FCUs to an IP-based front end, or bridging isolated segments in a multi-floor building, the BASRT-B delivers reliable performance with minimal setup. It installs easily on a DIN rail and comes in a rugged metal housing built to withstand demanding environments.
