Product Description

Deliver Data from your BACnet/IP Server Devices to an ASCII Based System or Controller

The 460BCA moves data between up to 32 BACnet/IP Server devices and Serial ASCII.

It’s a great tool to implement BACnet/IP devices into your PC or embedded applications that support raw ASCII data.

How Does it Work?

Up to 128 BACnet/IP Objects can be mapped to and from your BACnet/IP Server devices. The data segments can be converted to ASCII and concatenated into a string we deliver to your ASCII controller or logger. If you need to command the BACnet/IP Servers, an incoming ASCII string can be parsed and each segment can be directed to a user defined IO data location.

Need to scale your data or manipulate it with other math functions? The 460BCA allows you to add scaling to any data, apply simple math operations, add alarming and control the request speeds of your Server devices.

Why use Real Time Automation as a Gateway Supplier?

The 460BCA provides an option to manage BACnet/IP devices with an ASCII based controller. While there are certainly a number of other companies offering solutions like ours, there is no one who provides the level of support and service that you receive from RTA.

When you call, a live person answers the phone. When you talk with sales, you will get honest answers and recommendations even if that means recommending someone else’s solution. When you get support, it is from an engineer who had a hand in the product’s development, and that doesn’t require a ticket or 24 hour wait. We are unashamed of the fact that we are a smaller company because, that means, you mean more to us.

Protocol specific status, counters and error messages are accessible within the gateways diagnostics page. They can also be delivered to a connected device.

Diagnostic Logging Page
Allows users to see and log start up sequences, protocol specific messages & error messages.
