Build BACnet/IP functionality into your device with market-proven hardware and software maintained by third-party experts. As your protocol partner, RTA shoulders the burden of maintaining BACnet/IP features and functions to the lastest market expectations.
Multi-Protocol Support Included
Support EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, OPC UA, BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP and MQTT with a single protocol module, allowing you to serve industrial, enterprise, and commercial building markets with BACnet/IP today while instantly expanding into new markets with no additional hardware, engineering costs or inventory SKUs.
Why Trust Real Time Automation As Your Protocol Partner?
BACnet is a widely used standard protocol for building automation. To meet open data communication network needs, it requires several different physical and link layers. However, as physical layers decrease, Ethernet-based applications are becoming the new industry standard.
RTA helps you modernize your devices with the BACnet/IP protocol, powered by the RTConnect Module. While there are certainly other companies offering industrial connectivity solutions, no one provides the level of support and service that you receive from Real Time Automation.

What our Customers are Saying
“The 435NBA is an excellent serial to EtherNet interface to an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC. We had our barcode scanner up and running within a day with your tech support. Great web interface makes it easy. We will be using more of these in the future.”

"Industrial automation domain experts – the guys who build a lot of valves, pumps, drives, etc,, and need a way to talk to their devices – will find their Modbus champion in John Rinaldi. The author has almost as much shop floor experience as Modbus itself, the 40 years it’s been (and remains) the sole open source electronic networking protocol for connecting automation systems. John brings his trademark passion for, and quirky treatment of, all things industrial automation, to Modbus in the 21st Century. Internet of Things? OPC UA? All good – but automation engineers for whom small, simple, cheap, fast solutions will suffice will walk away from this book joining John in declaring ‘Hail Modbus! Modbus forever!"
