EasyPHY™ Communication Modules

Simplify BACnet Connectivity

EasyPHY™ modules allow native BACnet controllers to accommodate any physical BACnet media

Manufacturers of “Native BACnet” controllers can accommodate any and all physical BACnet media requirements with factory or field replaceable EasyPHY™ modules.

A single socket or wired connection from a Native BACnet controller that supports BACnet MS/TP can be connected to the following BACnet physical layers:

  • BACnet/IP
  • BACnet MS/TP
  • BACnet/IPv6
  • BACnet Ethernet
  • BACnet/Zigbee
  • BACnet/LonTalk
  • BACnet over Echelon’s IzoT (FT-10)
  • Opto-isolated EIA-485 BACnet MS/TP
  • BACnet over WiFi
  • BACnet over WiFi mesh network
  • BACnet over Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth 4.2)
  • BACnet over 900MHz wireless link (6 mile range)

EasyPHY™ Implementation

Any existing BACnet stack implementation that already supports BACnet MS/TP can be used as-is, with no software changes. Free BACnet reference stacks for Arduino, Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black platforms are available and fully supported on GitHub.

Availability and Reference Designs

Modules are available off-the-shelf from ConnectEx and pre-programmed chipsets are available. Manufacturers can license ConnectEx’s reference designs to design their own EasyPHY™-based modules to accommodate specialized power, form and fit requirements.

EasyPHY™ Development Kit

The development kit provides 3 reference platforms, (Arduino, Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black), an adapter for each platform (shields, Capes, HATs), and 3 of each of the physical EasyPHY™ modules. The cost of the kit can be applied toward future purchases of additional modules.
