Product Description
Map Your Legacy PLC Data Tables Into a BACnet MS/TP Master
You can now make your legacy serial PLCs look like a BACnet MS/TP device! Any of your old, serial PLCs like the PLC5, SLC, or MicroLogix can now provide data to a BACnet/ MS/TP building automation system.
It’s the perfect tool to keep those old legacy PLCs from the scrap pile.
How Do I Use the 460BMSDFM in My Application?
For most applications, the mapping is very straight forward. PLC data table values like N7:200 and F9:1 are mapped directly to BACnet Analog and Binary values.
No message instructions and no ladder logic changes are required to monitor the PLC data on BACnet MS/TP.
It really is that simple.
Why Use Real Time Automation as a Gateway Supplier?
While there are certainly a number of other companies offering gateways, 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. When you get support, it is from an engineer who had a hand in the product’s development, and support doesn’t require a ticket or 24-hour wait.
Try the RTA difference today.
