OVERVIEW
PRODUCT SUMMARY
The BEST Eniscope to BACnet IP and HTTP gateway is a protocol converter for the BEST Eniscope
Power Meter system. The gateway operates by receiving data from the Eniscope system and storing
the parse values internally. These values can then be read using BACnet® and via the web page. The
gateway also allows users to read data from other BACnet Power Meters and serve the data using
HTTP POSTs to a BEST Cloud Server for further analysis.
The gateway requires minimal configuration and can be considered a ‘plug and play’ component of any
network system. It’s ready
to operate ‘out of the box’ and can be installed without an engineer’s
approval.
