- This gateway can read data from your Metasys N2 devices and publish it as BACnet IP data.
- It can also write to the Metasys N2 devices.
- This gateway can also do the reverse, read BACnet IP data and publish it as Metasys N2 data.
- It can also write to the BACnet IP devices.
In summary, this gateway can act as:
Master on the Metasys N2 network: Hence it is capable of reading data from the various Metasys N2 slave devices and writing data to them if required.
Slave on the Metasys N2 network: You can use the gateway in this mode if you have a Metasys N2 master on the network which would be reading data from the gateway.
Master on the BACnet IP network: Hence it is capable of reading data from the various BACnet IP devices and writing data to them if required.
Slave on the BACnet IP network: The gateway can be configured to be a server of data values; hence another BACnet IP client can read data from the gateway and write data into the gateway.

-We will configure the gateway for you based on your requirement and support you during commissioning of the gateway, so you do not have to worry about configuring the FieldServer gateway.
-However, it is very helpful to know how to configure the devices. All the required tools and supporting product manuals with be provided completely free of cost with your purchase.
-Configuration of the FieldServer is done using a '.csv' file. This file can be edited using any text editor (example Microsoft excel).
-In this file we need to enter information for the Client and Server side interfaces of the FieldServer. This includes but is not limited to:
Node ids of the slave devices
IP addresses/device address of the slave devices
Baud rate, parity, stop bits for serial communication
Scan rates
- And finally we need to create an internal mapping that would map each data value read on the client side to a data value on the server side.
-For detailed information on configuration please get in touch with us and review the configuration manual on top of this page
