FieldServer Technologies’ ProtoCarrier/ProtoCessor BACnet Gateways Awarded BTL Certification

February 15, 2010 – FieldServer Technologies’ ProtoCarrier/ProtoCessor BACnet protocol gateway for OEMs from the ProtoCessor group has received a BTL Certification under device profile B-ASC. FieldServer gateways are the first and only BACnet BTL certified BACnet protocol gateways on the market today.

BACnet International BACnet Testing Laboratory (BTL) certification is the highest level of BACnet conformance tests available for BACnet products. Products that are BTL certified are view by the BACnet community, as the highest quality and most reliable products on the market today.

The ProtoCarrier/ProtoCessor solution consists of a proven ProtoCessor embedded protocol conversion module on a ProtoCarrier daughter board designed for original equipment manufacturers needing a quick and easy path to enable their new and legacy devices to interface with Building and Energy Automation networks. Key advantages of the ProtoCarrier/ProtoCessor solution are:

DIP switches for fast installation: Sets MAC address, Node-ID, and Baud Rate on RS-485 port. Auto Baud is supported on BACnet MS/TP.
Multi-protocol support on single ProtoNode for flexibility as networks change in the field.
1 SKU can store multiple configuration files which are selectable via DIP switches. This feature allows OEMs with multiple different controllers to automatically support one or multiple protocols on one ProtoCarrier/ProtoCessor solution.
BACnet COV support provides fast data communication while reducing the traffic over a BACnet network.
The ProtoCarrier/ProtoCarrier solution provides protocols translation between any of these protocols Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, JCI Metasys N2, DNP3, and Allen Bradley EtherNet IP.
Fast and easy installation. Set the DIP switches and connect the power.
Flash upgradable.
