BACnet MSTP to Modbus RTU Converter
The ProtoBridge PICO-1031 is a high-performance protocol gateway specifically engineered to integrate BACnet MSTP devices into Modbus RTU environments. This converter acts as a bridge, allowing Modbus Masters (PLCs, SCADA, or HMI) to access data points from BACnet MS/TP slave devices.
Key Capabilities
- Optimized Translation: Maps BACnet Objects (AI, AO, AV, BI, BO, BV) directly to Modbus Registers.
- Industrial Reliability: Robust RS-485 hardware with built-in isolation and surge protection.
- Quick Commissioning: Specialized Windows configuration tool for rapid device mapping.
- Compact Mounting: Standard 35mm DIN-rail mount for industrial control panels.
- Status Visibility: Diagnostic LEDs for real-time monitoring of Modbus and BACnet bus activity.
