Move BACnet Data Directly to Your Allen-Bradley PLC Data Table
The 460ETCBC moves data between up to 32 BACnet/IP server devices and up to 5 Allen-Bradley PLCs over an Ethernet connection. As a result, you can easily integrate BACnet/IP-enabled boilers, lighting systems, security systems and other devices to your industrial automation network.
How Does the 460ETCBC Gateway Move BACnet Data In and Out of the PLC?
To transfer data between BACnet/IP servers and Allen-Bradley PLCs, the PLCs must allocate two areas of tags or register blocks:
- A set of user-defined write-only tags or register blocks to accept BACnet/IP data
- A set of read-only tags or register blocks to send data to your BACnet/IP devices
Using a browser-based interface, you directly map BACnet/IP Analog and Binary data into read and write locations in the data table of your Allen-Bradley PLC.
It’s really that simple. With the 460ETCBC, you are making a direct connection between BACnet/IP objects and user-defined tags or registers. There is no polling from the PLC or scan lists to arrange.

What our Customers are Saying
“I challenged a customer to get it working by the time I got back from his break room with a Coke and he indeed had it working when I got back. He then said, "It’s worth twice the price!"”
Eric P. / Kendall Electric
“Everything seems to be working as we imagined. Thanks for the great response time. I did not see any way to save the configuration other than screen shots, but the configuration did not get lost in the update. Thanks again, and you were a pleasure to work with.”
Kevin L. / Extol, Inc.
