Barix Barionet - I/O device server
Programmable I/O device server with two serial ports, Dallas 1-wire support, SNMP, Modbus/ TCP and web interfaces via built-in 10/100 Ethernet port. The Barionet is a fully programmable I/O device server that supports standard interfaces such as SNMP, CGI, HTTP, and Modbus/TCP to access local I/O and program functions. Support for a broad variety of standard protocols and the built-in 10/100 Ethernet port makes the Barionet devices ideal for automation and monitoring applications in buildings, industry and IT systems.

Common hardware features:
- 10/100 Mbit Ethernet interface
- Two serial ports (RS-232 and RS-485)
- Very low power operation (typically 1.5 watts with no relays activated, 4 watts maximum)
- Wide supply voltage input range: 9 - 30V
- Relay outputs and digital inputs
- Dallas 1-wire interface
Software applications available for the Barionet devices:
The Barionet comes pre-loaded with a web configuration and user interface application for monitoring and control of all on-board I/O functions. In addition, full custom applications can be developed using the built-in BCL interpretter (Barix Control Language, which is very similar to BASIC). A demo application, including source code is also included that provides a useful serial tunnelling function, but also serves as a BCL programming example.
The standard software provides the following functionality:
- Browser-based configuration and I/O monitoring pages built-in
- Support for custom dynamic (DHTML) web pages.
- TCP, UDP, CGI, Modbus/TCP, SNMP protocol support
- All I/O functions can be monitored or controlled via built-in standard protocols or using custom DHTML pages and BCL software (Barix Control Language, which is very similar to BASIC).
- Support for 50 1-wire temperature sensors and a 1-wire Real Time Clock
- Example Serial gateway/tunnel BCL program with source code pre-loaded provides serial „tunnelling” across an IP network, and also serves as a BCL programming example.
Available BCL applications for the Barionet:
- Digital I/O tunnel (forwarding of contact closures over the network)
- Example BCL program for controlling and monitoring Barix Modbus expansion modules (R6, IO12, and X8).
- General alarming/monitoring/reporting application for security, monitoring, and supervision applications
- RTP replicator/rebroadcaster
- home automation master
- weather station interface
- NTP server
- simple access controller for card readers with Wiegand interface
- sauna controller
- energy counter/usage reporting
