ISE. At the upcoming ISE 2017, Barix will present the Barionet 1000, the latest addition to the family of universal programmable I/O devices for ip-based control and automation applications. Unlike other Barionet devices that use Barix's proprietary ABCL programming language.
The Barionet 1000 is the first programmable device using the Linux OpenWRT programming environment. In addition, it is the first Barionet device to integrate wireless capability and USB port for future connectivity needs in control and automation.
The positioning of the Barionet 1000 as a Linux OpenWRT platform leads to the latest industry trend for control through open source programming and provides system integrators and OEMs with a blank sheet to program devices for almost any control or automation application required.
In order to maximize the operational flexibility and most useful programming features of the Barionet 1000, Barix has equipped this device with a wireless connection and a USB interface to the standard features of the Barionet, including relay contact closures , and analog and digital I/O.
For more than a decade, Barix customers have proven the reliable technology of Barionet I/O programming devices for the control, automation and monitoring of critical systems in residential and commercial facilities.
Although the Barionet 50 and 100 devices are still available to those who prefer the multiple firmware solutions available for these products, the Barionet 1000 offers a new level of freedom for programmers. Barix will present the new Barionet 1000 at ISE 2017 from 7 to 10 February at the RAI Conference and Exhibition Centre in Amsterdam (stand 8-N270).
For Reto Brader, Vice President of Sales and Marketing: "The Barionet 1000's OpenWRT platform on Linux enables customers with development power, or Barix working under their direction, to carry out any implementation they need. The greatness of this device lies in its great computational capacity. You can program in Linux OpenWRT and load the program on the Barionet 1000 device, which will be able to make decisions for itself based on the loaded software."
As part of the respected Barionet family of Barix, the Barionet 1000 is suitable for a wide range of programmable functions based on control and automation such as: door access control, contact closure monitoring, environmental monitoring, alarms, logs, failover, motion detection, security camera control, temperature monitoring, control of air conditioning equipment.
In Brader's words: "Our goal in offering open programming code for our Barionet devices is to extend this technology to a wider range of people who know how to program on Linux. Meanwhile, being a Product of Barix, the Barionet 1000 is built under a more than proven, robust, simple and reliable hardware platform. There is no advantage to self-programmable I/O devices using a software platform under Linux if the hardware is not reliable for an application 24 hours a day, 365 days a year."
