Secutron Modul R to BACnet / Modbus / SNMP is highly powerful, superior, completely configurable and productive Building & Industrial Automation gateway for integrators to effortlessly interface devices to networks in commercial buildings and industrial plants.
The Gateway model FPC-N54B supports Secutron Modul R, BACnet, Modbus and SNMP protocols. It is a Bi-directional Converter that can be configured as a Client on Secutron Modul R side and a Server/Client on BACnet / Modbus / SNMP protocol interface.
When configured as a Secutron Modul R client, the gateway can read data from your Secutron Modul R and publish it as BACnet / Modbus / SNMP data. Also, it can write commands sent from the BACnet / Modbus / SNMP side to the Secutron Modul R like Store Alarm or Device Status.
When configured as a BACnet / Modbus / SNMP client, the gateway can read data from your BACnet / Modbus /SNMP devices and publish it as Secutron Modul R type data. Also, it can write commands sent from the Secutron Modul R side to the BACnet / Modbus / SNMP devices.
The gateway can be configured to behave as a server on BACnet / Modbus /SNMP interfaces. This mode is useful when data exchange is required between a Secutron Modul R client (for eg. Alarm Status) and a BACnet / Modbus / SNMP client (for eg. a Building Management System).
The gateway can be configured to behave as a client on both Secutron Modul R and BACnet / Modbus / SNMP interfaces.
These gateways have benefitted system integrators worldwide with its powerful line of gateways. Additionally, this gateway runs the same protocol conversion software on a productive and cost-effective platform backed by the experience, engineering expertise and technically proven support that integrators have come to expect from Secutron Modul R to BACnet / Modbus / SNMP Converter.
Specifications:
- Power Requirements for this gateway is 9-30 VDC or 24 VAC. Current Draw @ 12VDC about 250 mA.
- This gateway allows to read and write the data up to 1,000 – 10,000 data points.
- Physical Dimension of this gateway is 4×1.1×2.7 Inches (H x W x D) and it weighs up to 0.2 Kg.
- This gateway supports 1 x RS-485 Port, 1 x RS-232 Port and 1 x Ethernet Port.
Scenario:
Scenario 1
- On a site there were Secutron Modul R Panels that provides data output on Secutron Protocol.
- The site has a building management system on BACnet /Modbus / SNMP that needs the Fire Panel data like Alarm Status from the Secutron Modul R Panels .
- Since the Secutron Modul R Panels provide data output on Secutron Protocol and the building management system understands BACnet / Modbus / SNMP Protocols, a direct data exchange is not possible.
Solution:
The devices cannot directly communicate with each other as they are not on the same protocol. You need something that will convert data from BACnet / Modbus / SNMP to Secutron and vice versa.
ProtoConvert’s Secutron to BACnet / Modbus / SNMP Converter will be an excellent solution for this requirement. The gateway reads data from the Secutron Modul R Panels. It caches this data internally and then provides it on BACnet / Modbus / SNMP when requested from the Building Management System.
