Mircom FX2000 to BACnet / Modbus Gateway (FPC N54B-188) is highly powerful, superior, completely configurable and productive fire panel integration gateway for integrators to effortlessly interface devices to networks in commercial buildings and industrial plants.

FPC N54B-188 Gateway model supports Mircom FX2000, BACnet and Modbus protocols. It is a Uni-directional Converter that can be configured as a Passive Client on Mircom FX2000 side and a Server on BACnet / Modbus protocol interface.

When configured as a Mircom FX2000 passive client, the gateway will wait for messages to be sent by the Panel.

The gateway can be configured to behave as a server on BACnet / Modbus interfaces. This mode is useful when data exchange is required between a Mircom FX2000 and a BACnet / Modbus client
(for eg. a Building Management System).

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-efficient platform backed by the experience, engineering expertise and technically proven support that integrators have come to expect from FX2000 to BACnet / Modbus 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

  • On a site you have a FX2000 Fire Panels that can provide data output on FX2000 Protocol.
  • The site has a building management system on BACnet /Modbus that needs the Alarm and Trouble Events from FX2000 Fire Panels.
  • Since the FX2000 Fire Panel provide data output on FX2000 and the building management system understands BACnet / Modbus, 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 FX2000 to BACnet / Modbus

ProtoConvert’s Mircom FX2000 to BACnet / Modbus Converter will be an excellent solution for this requirement. The gateway receives the data from the FX2000 Fire Panels on FX2000. It caches this data internally and then provides it on BACnet / Modbus when requested from the Building Management System.
