Control Solutions has introduced five new
network gateways useful in integrating legacy LonWorks based equipment
into updated BACnet or Modbus networks. These gateways use a non-bound
polled interface to LonWorks devices making them accessible from BACnet
or Modbus networks without additional LonWorks network management
tools.
The Babel Buster BB2-6020-NB replaces the legacy Babel Buster X2 for connecting LonWorks devices to a Modbus TCP network. The BB2-2010-NB is used to connect LonWorks devices to a Modbus RTU network.
The Babel Buster BB2-7020-NB replaces the
legacy Babel Buster IP/XL, and the BB2-3020-NB replaces the legacy
Babel Buster 485XL. These gateways are used to connect LonWorks devices
to BACnet IP and BACnet MS/TP networks respectively.
All of the new LonWorks gateways have
Windows based configuration software that is provided at no charge. The
new software is more advanced than any previous Windows based
configuration tools offered by Control Solutions, and offers far more
capability than previous HTML based configuration schemes. Most
importantly, the tool has a consistent look and feel for all versions
of LonWorks gateways regardless of protocol or model number. The
configuration tool connects to the LonWorks gateways via USB, thus
eliminating the need for any additional network interfaces to get the
gateway configured.
“We are seeing increasing demand for the ability to integrate legacy LonWorks equipment into updated control systems that use either BACnet or Modbus”, says Jim Hogenson, President of Control Solutions. “We are responding to this increase in demand with improved network gateways, and tools that make it easier to configure them.”
