Product Overview
Automated Logic AMR router designed to translate and bridge communication between ARCNET ARC156 networks and BACnet MS/TP segments within WEBCTRL building automation systems. This module allows legacy ARCNET-based controllers to coexist and communicate reliably with BACnet MS/TP devices in mixed-network installations. Its role is strictly network-level, maintaining protocol integrity rather than performing control logic.
The AMR is commonly deployed inside control panels where long-lived ARCNET infrastructure must remain operational while facilities expand or modernize around BACnet standards. By handling protocol conversion internally, it preserves system continuity without forcing wholesale controller replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the AMR module?
The AMR acts as a network router, bridging ARCNET ARC156 segments to BACnet MS/TP networks so devices on both sides can communicate within a WEBCTRL system.
Does this module perform control logic?
No. The AMR is strictly a communication device and does not execute HVAC or facility control sequences.
Is this unit unused?
Yes. This module is unused, New Old Stock, and has never been installed in a control panel.
What ARCNET interface does it support?
The AMR supports the BT485 ARCNET interface for ARCNET physical layer connectivity.
When is an AMR required in a WEBCTRL system?
An AMR is used when ARCNET ARC156 devices must communicate with BACnet MS/TP devices, typically during phased upgrades or long-term system expansions.
Routers like the AMR rarely draw attention, but they quietly decide whether a building’s past and present can keep speaking the same language. This one is ready to take that place in your panel.
