Move BACnet Data Directly to Your Allen-Bradley PLC Data Table
The 460ETCBM moves data between up to 32 BACnet MS/TP subordinate devices and up to 5 Allen-Bradley PLCs over a serial connection (RS-232/485/422 or CAN). As a result, you can easily bridge the gap between your BACnet MS/TP devices and your industrial automation network.
How Does the 460ETCBM Gateway Move BACnet Data In and Out of the PLC?
To transfer data between BACnet MS/TP subordinates 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 MS/TP data
- A set of read-only tags or register blocks to send data to your BACnet MS/TP devices
Using a browser-based interface, you directly map BACnet MS/TP 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 460ETCBM, you are making a direct connection between BACnet MS/TP 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.
