ProtoConvert recommends the FieldServer gateway for your BACnet protocol conversion requirements. We configure and sell FieldServer gateways. We will help you find the right solution for your requirement and support you with the configuration and commissioning.
This gateway can read BACnet data from your BACnet MSTP devices and publish it as Modbus ASCii data.
It can also write to the BACnet MSTP devices.
This gateway can also do the reverse, read Modbus ASCii data and publish it as BACnet MSTP data.
It can also write to the Modbus ASCii devices.
In summary, this gateway can act as:
Client/Master on the BACnet MSTP network: Hence it is capable of reading data from the various BACnet slave devices and writing data to them if required.
Server/Slave on the BACnet MSTP network: You can use the gateway in this mode if you have a BACnet MSTP master on the network which would be reading data from the gateway.
Client/Master on the Modbus ASCii network: Hence it is capable of reading data from the various Modbus ASCii devices and writing data to them if required.
Server/Slave on the Modbus ASCii network: The gateway can be configured to be a server of data values, hence another Modbus ASCii client can read data from the gateway and write data into the gateway.

How to configure the FieldServer 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
