The BB2-7010-08 is an enhancement to the standard BB2-7010-02 which adds support for Functional
Devices WiFi RIB sensors and relays. The data packets utilize the HTML/XML data format documented in
the RIB user manual. Refer to Functional Devices documentation for setup of the sensor/relay itself. The
BB2-7010-08 will make the RIB sensor data available as BACnet objects (and Modbus registers or
SNMP OID's). The BB2-7010-08 will also allow control of the RIB relay from BACnet, Modbus, or SNMP
networks.
A standard generic WiFi access point is used to connect the WiFi sensors to the wired network. The access
point should be placed where it has access to the wired network, but also where it will have good reception
of the WiFi sensor signals. Typically, the BB2-7010-08 gateway will be located inside a control panel, but
the WiFi access point will be located outside the control panel and potentially some distance from the
panel.
18.1 Sensor Network Settings
The WiFi sensors need to initially be configured using the sensor configuration utility. One of the required
settings is the IP address of the server to which the sensor should send data. That IP address will be the
address of the BB2-7010-08 gateway which is set on the Local Host page shown here. If NAT routers are
placed between the sensors and the gateway, then use IP addresses provided by the IT technician that set
up the router.
