BOSTON - Cimetrics Inc. has formed a technology and marketing alliance with Lantronix Inc. to bring new IP and Web service solutions to the building automation market via the Lantronix XPortâ„¢ module.
Cimetrics said it will implement the module in its Native IP and Eplus product lines, and will sell a BACnet-enabled XPort module for OEMs. The XPort is a compact, embedded device server that offers a highly integrated Ethernet hardware solution, and which also enables Cimetrics BACstacâ„¢ protocol stack. Setup is done using a browser setup screen so that control and monitoring of BACnet devices can be done without needing to know BACnet protocol, Cimetrics said.
