1. Product Overview The Procon BAC-IP/50 unit allows a BACnet/IP building management system (BMS) to monitor and control air-conditioning units attached to a Mitsubishi G-50A, GB-50A or AG-150 central controller. Depending on the air-conditioning configuration within the G-50, up to 50 groups can be monitored / controlled. The error state of up to 50 OC/BC units can also be monitored.
