INNCOM B578 Datasheet Overview INNCOMs multifunctional controller works in three configurations to facilitate different Integrated Room Automation System (IRAS) operations:
As the B578S Edge Router, it networks Ethernet to INNCOMs Deep Mesh RF network. It provides backhaul networks with up to 200* rooms per PAN ID. It supports multiple IP protocols (UDP, ICMP). The expanded addressing facilitates transport reliability and multicasting. The Edge Router enhances security and offers RF-to-Ethernet protocol conversion, with the availability of a PoE power supply for Power over Ethernet applications. Figure 1 B578 DIN As the B578N, the Edge Router interfaces with the Tridium Niagara JACE (Java Application Control Engine) controller to provide connectivity to numerous common network protocols such as LonWorks and BACNet, as well as proprietary networks. As the PC-803, the device acts as a protocol converter, converting in-room RF traffic to Ethernet towards the server. Note: The device will generally be referred to as the B578 throughout this document. Statements specific to a particular configuration will be noted accordingly.

* The 200 device limit is based on timing considerations used by the communication protocols of a Deep Mesh network. Local RF interference sources, conditions, and device placement can decrease this number. 1 Copyright 2014 INNCOM by Honeywell Specifications Parameter B578 RF Data Rate Indoor/Urban RF range 250kbps 100ft RF Transmit Power 50mW (+17dBm) RF Receive Sensitivity Frequency Band Encryption Protocol Frequency Channels Network Topology

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Modifications not expressly approved by INNCOM International Inc. could void the users authority to operate the equipment. 2 Copyright 2014 INNCOM by Honeywell Mounting Considerations The B578 Network Controllers are designed for mounting in a variety of applications. The bottom housing is equipped with a channel and tab for DIN rail mounting and therefore does not require any additional screws or hardware for installation. For screw-mounted applications, there are 4 countersunk holes located in the bottom housing that can be accessed by removing the top cover and Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA). Figure 2 DIN Rail Mounting Figure 3 B578 Network The B578 can be attached to an X-type DIN rail. To attach the B578 to a DIN rail, pull the tab (Figure 3) down and attach the bottom of the housing to the DIN rail (always mount the DIN rail with the tab at the bottom). Once the unit is sitting flush on the rail, release the tab. To remove the B578 from the DIN rail, pull the tab down and lift the bottom edge of the unit off the DIN rail first. This ensures that the cable, cable channels, and connections are always aligned in the correct orientation in a daisy-chained application. Please note that the above picture is from the INNCOM QC lab. In field deployment, B578s will typically be distributed throughout the building. 3 Copyright 2014 INNCOM by Honeywell To gain access to headers and connectors located on the PCBA, remove the B578 from the DIN rail or NEMA box enclosure. Using a flat screw driver, lift the top housing away from the snap tangs on the bottom housing. Figure 4 Top Housing Removal To screw mount the B578, open the B578 as described above and remove the PCBA, which is held in place by 4 tangs located at its perimeter. Once the PCBA is removed Figure 5 Mounting Screw Locations locate the 4 countersink posts mount the bottom housing to the intended fixture using a self-tapping screw mount the PCBA back on to the bottom housing make the necessary wire connections (see Headers and Connectors below) connect power to the DC jack plug in Ethernet connection snap the top housing back onto the unit The Edge Router design mounts externally on a wall or ceiling or even on furnishings, if need be. 4 Copyright 2014 INNCOM by Honeywell Input/Output Connections Headers: The B578 contains the following headers:
H1: In Circuit Programming Header J1: DC Jack 12VDC Input M1: PoE Module header (02-9949) H2: NU H3: ES1 / ES2 header H4: RS485 (203-251) H5: RS485 (203-251) Note: RS485 connectivity is not supported: these headers may be used to connect to an S5bus adapter
(203-255). The following table describes the function of the indicator LEDs on the B578 PCBA. Output Function LED Function Red Flash on power-up to indicate proper hardware initialization. Steady on to indicate no connectivity to B573 floor bridge. Flashes fast to indicate a valid CIS connection. Flashes slow to indicate 75 seconds have passed with no packets from the CIS network. Blue Toggles when RF Rx tunnel packet is received Power Supplies The B578 provides power supply options for three specific applications. For each configuration, follow the current consumption ratings below to determine the devices power budget. Mode Peak Current Consumption B578 logic board (basic) 200mA peak, 100mA RMS PC-803 logic board w/ 0dB radio 120mA PC-803 logic board w/ 20dB radio 175mA PC-803 logic board w/ IR5 eye 200mA Locally powered B578 The B578 can be powered directly with an external +12VDC power suppl y using the DC jack (J1). Typically, the INNCOM 204-005 power supply and 262-301 100-120VAC power cable are provided for the B578 in this power configuration. 5 Copyright 2014 INNCOM by Honeywell PoE Powered B578 The B578 is an IEEE 802.3af compliant Powered Device (PD) interface with a current mode switching regulator, providing a complete power solution for PD applications. The B578 is an IEEE class 2 device. PoE devices are classified below:
IEEE Class Minimum Power Output at the PSE Maximum power Input at the Powered Device 0 1 2 3 15.4W 4.0W 7.0W 15.4W 0.44 to 12.95W 0.44 to 3.84W 3.84 to 6.49W 6.49 to 12.95W Powering another INNCOM device on the +12VDC rail directly from H2 or H3 when powering the B578 from PoE is not recommended. If the B578 exceeds its IEEE 802.3af class-2 power rating (i.e., draws more than 7W), the PSE switch in the network will shut down the power and Ethernet connectivity to the B578. For B578 to support PoE power, order the PoE module (02-9949). Connect the module to M1 on the B578 logic board, then connect the PoE-powered Ethernet patch cable to J3 (RJ45) and power up the unit.
