EasyIO FW-8 - WiFi-integrated IP controller for BMS

EasyIO FW-08 WiFi Integrated IP Controller

The EasyIO FW-8 is a WiFi integrated IP controller from EasyIO's FW Series, designed to meet the flexible connectivity requirements of modern BMS and HVAC systems.

The device supports WiFi b/g/n standards and has two Ethernet ports, allowing deployment in existing networks or the creation of a standalone BMS network. Its daisy-chain Ethernet capability reduces infrastructure costs and optimizes deployment in practice.

The FW-8 fully supports protocols such as BACnet IP/MSTP, Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT, SOX, TCom, and Peer-to-Peer, ensuring flexible integration between the control system and the IT platform. The device can be programmed directly via CPT Tool and integrates an HTML5 web server, allowing monitoring and operation via a browser without the need for specialized software.

With a hardware configuration including a 580MHz MIPS CPU, 128MB of RAM, and 32MB of Flash memory, the FW-8 performs well in distributed control, data acquisition, and system integration tasks. In addition, the device supports SQL Lite for data storage, RESTful APIs, and web services, expanding connectivity and data exploitation capabilities.
