Specifications from the Prolon BACnet Equipment Bridge (PL-BAC-EQB-XX) datasheet V1 (PL-DATA-EQB-EN-V1), reviewed 2026-09-25.
Dual mode functionality lets the bridge operate as either a master or a follower device within a network. In either mode it can be configured for polling (read only or manual write) and control (automatic write) of any available BACnet points within a given piece of equipment. Setup and configuration can be done locally or remotely using Prolon's free Focus software and Cloud Communication Service.
Best For
- Integrating HVAC equipment that ships with an OEM BACnet communication card into a Prolon system
- Zoning systems (VAV/VVT) where the bridge evaluates zone weights and demands
- Master applications that coordinate Prolon follower devices such as zone damper or FlexIO controllers
- Remote monitoring and configuration through Prolon Focus software
Warranty
Key Features
1 BACnet Device Supported
Supports one BACnet device with 16 configuration points, 16 polling points and 4 sequence control points.
Master or Follower
As a master, it can place Prolon follower devices under its authority, perform math functions related to them and share information back. As a follower, it receives math function values and occupancy status from a Prolon master.
Polling and Control
Configurable for polling (read only or manual write) and control (automatic write) of any available BACnet points within a piece of equipment.
Embedded Discovery Tool
A discovery tool is embedded to discover BACnet devices and points.
VAV/VVT Zoning Management
Evaluates the weights and demands of zones using a choice of customized groups and calculation methods.
Free Focus Software
Setup and configuration locally or remotely with free Prolon Focus software and the Cloud Communication Service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Prolon PL-BAC-EQB-01 do?
It is an interface device that allows HVAC equipment delivered with an OEM BACnet communication card to be integrated directly into a Prolon system.
How many BACnet devices does the PL-BAC-EQB-01 support?
The PL-BAC-EQB-01 supports one BACnet device, with 16 configuration points, 16 polling points and 4 sequence control points. The PL-BAC-EQB-03 supports three BACnet devices.
Can the PL-BAC-EQB-01 act as a master or a follower?
Both. As a master it can place Prolon follower devices, such as zone damper or FlexIO controllers, under its authority and share information back to them. As a follower it can be placed under another Prolon master device to receive math function values and occupancy status.
What is the difference between polling and control points?
Polling is read only or manual write access to BACnet points. Control is automatic write to BACnet points within the equipment.
How is the PL-BAC-EQB-01 configured?
Locally or remotely using Prolon's free Focus software and Cloud Communication Service. An embedded discovery tool finds BACnet devices and points.
Which protocols does the PL-BAC-EQB-01 use?
BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU (RS485), up to 127 nodes.
What power does the PL-BAC-EQB-01 need?
24 VAC ±10%, 50/60 Hz, Class 2, with a power rating of 1.3 VA.
- Supported Protocols:
