Adesto’s FT 6050 Smart Transceiver Now Natively Supports both LonWorks® and BACnet® Protocols
August 08 2019 - 9:00AM
Adesto Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: IOTS), a leading provider
of innovative application-specific semiconductors and embedded
systems for the IoT, announced that its FT 6050 Smart Transceiver
system-on-chip (SoC) now natively supports LON®, LON/IP, BACnet/IP
and BACnet MS/TP protocol stacks – uniquely enabling the popular
LON and BACnet industrial protocols to communicate simultaneously
over the highly reliable and widely adopted Free Topology (FT)
channel.
Adesto®’s FT 6050 Smart Transceiver will modernize and simplify
automation and control networks, especially in smart buildings. Its
unique and powerful open systems approach allows BACnet
workstations and LON network manager and integrator tools to
natively field-configure, provision and monitor controllers as
either LON or BACnet devices, or both. This enables a flexible
architecture that combines the best of both worlds, all while
taking advantage of the easy to install, fault tolerant and
scalable FT media. For OEMs, the FT 6050 can enable differentiated
architectures with fewer SKUs needed in inventory, while making the
integrator’s job dramatically easier and more flexible for both
retrofits and new installations.
“Our customers want scalable, interoperable and extensible
systems that are extremely simple to install, and they want a
uniform management architecture that can share data across networks
and also externally to cloud systems. By combining LON and BACnet,
two widely deployed open protocols in the industrial IoT, we are
giving them exactly that,” said Apurba Pradhan, vice president of
product management, Adesto.
Pradhan continued, “The FT 6050 is already experiencing strong
traction, with adoption by innovative controller manufacturers and
growing volume in industrial control applications. We expect this
latest development to drive further interest. Looking ahead, we
will continue to roll out further FT based innovations across our
edge devices and embedded IoT platform, focused on ease of
interoperability between devices and ease of integration to IoT and
cloud systems.”
FT 6050 Smart Transceiver SoCThe FT 6050 Smart
Transceiver SoC is a key product in Adesto’s embedded IoT platform
— one of the most comprehensive and open control networking
platforms for the Industrial IoT. It is also supported in both LON
and BACnet configurations by Adesto’s new SmartServer™ IoT, an open
and extensible industrial edge server that supports multiple
protocols and applications, enabling the convergence of diverse
systems into a single edge networking and compute platform.
New enhancements to the FT 6050 include native support for all
BACnet features, as well as improvements to the memory architecture
to allow for larger, higher fidelity applications, enabling
creation of extensive systems. The FT 6050 is supported by
integrated open system products including:
- SmartServer IoT’s BACnet and LON router and network
managers
- IzoT Net Server, an open platform software for creating and
managing a network of devices
- IzoT Commissioning Tool, an easy-to-use, front-end graphical
user interface (GUI) for creating a device network using
drag-and-drop capabilities
Customer Testimonials“Our Circon VAV-350 is a
controller based on Adesto’s advanced FT 6050 chip for smart
networks, simultaneously running LON, LON/IP, BACnet/IP and BACnet
MS/TP stacks. Adesto’s multi-protocol approach provides integrators
with unparalleled flexibility for installing the VAV-350.” – Surge
Uppal, owner, Efficient Building Automation Corporation.
“We’re excited about the possibilities of taking BACnet/IP to
the next level with FT, the most advanced standard physical channel
for field devices. Adesto did great work in porting all the
advantages of Free Topology to BACnet/IP, which now allows us to
integrate BACnet/IP devices in LON networks and take advantage of
both protocols’ best features.” – Jorge Bueno, CTO, ISDE.
AvailabilityThe FT 6050 is available now with
reduced volume pricing. Adesto is also expanding licensing
opportunities for the LON and BACnet combined stack to device
makers. For information, contact embedded-iot@adestotech.com or
