Your Controls Tech Service Tool


The KMC Controls BAC-5051AE is a multi-port BACnet router. It is powerful enough for heavy network traffic and small enough to use as a control technician’s service tool. Routing: Install the BAC-5051AE for BACnet IP, Ethernet, and MS/TP routing. IP routing is fully compliant with BACnet Standard 134-2012, Annex J.

Features Include:

  • Easy To Install And Simple To Configure
  • Supports BACnet IP Pad Routing
  • Direct Serial Or Direct Modem Point-To-Point Connection

KMC BACnet Router - Features & Overview 

Browser Configuration: Configure the BAC-5051AE using only an Internet browser. There is no special software to learn or load.                                                                          
Flexible Mounting: Two mounting choices for permanent installations–DIN rail or surface mount.                                                                                                                                   
Diagnostics: Embedded metrics include: total number of devices, frame counts, frames in error, data frames, duplicate MAC addresses, token passing, and poll-for-master count.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               


The Best Tool in your Tool Box

MS/TP Diagnostics Capture: Troubleshoot MS/TP issues by capturing, saving, and analyzing network traffic. Data is saved in industry standard .pcap files.

Automatically Learns Networks: Detects and configures routing for the actual discovered networks.

Enable and Disable Routing: Use the router as a diagnostic tool to monitor traffic without routing traffic.

VAV Airflow Balancing: Use with an Internet browser as an airflow balancing tool for BAC-8000 and BAC-9000 series VAV controllers.

AFMS Configuration: Use the router to set up an Airflow Measurement System (AFMS).

Zone Configuration: Use the router to set up a BAC-120063CWZEC zoning Flexstat.
