Overview

Description

The FT 6050 EVK is a complete hardware and software platform for creating or evaluating LON, LON/IP, BACnet/IP or BACnet MS/TP devices based on the Series 6000 Smart Transceivers and Neuron® Processors

The FT 6050 EVK is a complete hardware and software platform for creating or evaluating IoT devices based on a Renesas Smart Transceiver or Neuron® chip. You can use the FT 6050 EVK to create devices such as VAV controllers, thermostats, card-access readers, lighting ballasts, motor controls and many other devices. These devices can be used in a variety of systems including building and lighting controls, factory automation, energy management, and transportation systems. Whether you’re building large or small control network devices, IP-enabled LON® or BACnet devices, the FT 6050 EVK makes your project development faster, easier, and more affordable.
