BACnet is becoming the most commonly used protocol for building automation networks

The most popular flavors of BACnet in use today are BACnet MSTP and BACnet IP.

ProtoConvert offers excellent solutions to integrate your BACnet MSTP and BACnet IP devices on other communication protocols like Modbus RTU , Modbus TCP/IP, LonWorks, SNMP, JCI Metasys N2 and many others.

All our protocol gateways can be configured to transfer data in both directions. In other words, using our gateways any of the following are possible:

Configure our gateway as BACnet MSTP or BACnet IP master and a server on the other protocol interface (like Modbus). In this mode your Modbus based SCADA/Control system can read/write data from the BACnet devices via our gateway.

Configure our gateway as a BACnet MSTP or BACnet IP slave and as master/client on the other protocol interface (like Modbus). In this mode your BACnet based controller/BAS/BMS/SCADA will be able to monitor and control devices on the other protocol.

Configure our gateway as a BACnet MSTP or BACnet IP slave and as a slave on the other protocol interface. This mode is for exchanging data between  a BACnet and a non-BACnet control system.

Configure our gateway as a BACnet MSTP or BACnet IP master and a master on the other protocol interface. This mode is useful for controlling a slave device on one protocol based on a sensor/data value on another protocol.
