INNCOM B578 Datasheet
Overview
INNCOM’s multifunctional controller works in three configurations to facilitate different
Integrated Room Automation System (IRAS) operations:
 As the B578S Edge Router, it networks Ethernet to INNCOM’s 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
Figure 1 B578 DIN
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.
 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.
Features
 Supports CBL32 control algorithms
 RS485 System Interface dongle
 10MBit Ethernet
 Available in PoE and +12VDC powered models
 128 bit AES encryption (Ethernet link and RF network)
Figure 2 B578 Wall/Ceiling Mountable
 Typical indoor RF range up to 100ft
 Supports 2.4Ghz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceiver
 Supports S5bus (through external adapter)
 Compact physical dimension
 DIN rail mounting option (Figure 1)
 Wall or ceiling mount on standard 2-gang ring (Figure 2)
 Supports up to 200 rooms depending on the guestroom application deployed and the selected RF environment
at the site.
 4 kBytes mailbox memory usable as a relay-buffer for battery operated devices (Edge Router)
 IPv6 support (Edge Router)
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.

Agency Approvals
FCC Part 15, CE Mark ETSI, RoHS
This device contains FCC ID: GTC201104TXR.
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 user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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.

Figure 4 Top Housing Removal
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 5 Mounting Screw Locations
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

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.

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).

Power Supplies
The B578 provides power supply options for three specific applications. For each configuration, follow the current
consumption ratings below to determine the device’s power budget.

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.

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
15.4W
0.44 to 12.95W
4.0W
0.44 to 3.84W
7.0W
3.84 to 6.49W
15.4W
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.
FCC Statement
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.
