Description
Purpose and Functionality:
- The GW-BAC1 acts as a bridge between Unitronics programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and BACnet-based building automation systems.
- It facilitates communication by translating data between BACnet and Unitronics protocols.
- Specifically, it supports both BACnet MS/TP (Master-Slave/Token-Passing) and BACnet/IP (Internet Protocol) communication.
Key Features:
- Multi-Protocol Support: The gateway allows Unitronics devices to seamlessly connect to BACnet networks, enabling interoperability.
- BACnet MS/TP and BACnet/IP: It supports both BACnet communication modes, making it versatile for various applications.
- High Performance: The GW-BAC1 ensures reliable and efficient data exchange.
- Easy Configuration: Users can set up parameters and mappings via intuitive configuration tools.
- LED Indicators: Visual status indicators provide real-time feedback on communication status.
Installation and Use:
- Mount the GW-BAC1 near the Unitronics PLC or controller.
- Configure the gateway using the provided software or web interface.
- Map Unitronics data points to BACnet objects (e.g., analog inputs, digital outputs).
- Monitor and manage communication through the LED indicators and diagnostic tools.
Applications:
- Building automation: Connect Unitronics controllers to HVAC, lighting, and security systems.
- Energy management: Monitor and control energy usage in commercial and industrial facilities.
- Integration: Enable seamless data exchange between Unitronics devices and other BACnet-compliant equipment.
