baseVIRTUAL

Overview

The Fentrica baseVIRTUAL is a software-based implementation of the Fentrica controller platform, designed to run on standard x86-64 Linux servers or virtual machines. It provides the same powerful automation and integration capabilities as the physical baseMINI controller, but without dedicated hardware I/O.

The baseVIRTUAL is ideal for:

  • Cloud-based deployments - Run in data centers or cloud infrastructure
  • Software protocol integrations - Connect via Modbus/TCP, BACnet/IP, MQTT, and other IP-based protocols
  • Scalable installations - Deploy multiple instances for large building portfolios
  • Testing and development - Evaluate Fentrica capabilities before hardware deployment
