HPE-MRBN – 

BACnet MS/TP Gateway to Modbus RTU 485

 

FW4.01 

 
Integration of BACnet MS/TP conforming devices in to Modbus RTU based systems. Up to 247 BACnet 
MS/TP devices may be connected to the gateway for read access of up to 250 BACnet data objects 
 

Typical Applications

 

 
Modbus RTU 485 network integration of BACnet MS/TP devices: 
 

  HVAC Controllers 

  PMAC770 electricity meters (c/w BACnet module) 

  Sontex SC531 chilled/hot water energy integrators (c/w BACnet module) 

  Belimo energy Valves * 

 

Belimo energy valves should have dedicated gateway, with System Vendor ID# 423 (SV=423) set in the gateway. 

Other BACnet devices may share a gateway, with default SV=0 setting. 

 

Feature Summary

 

 

  Modbus RTU RS485 slave port (BMS port) 

  BACnet MS/TP master-slave/token-passing (Sub-bus port)  

  User customised BACnet object data based 

  Modbus Long Integer and IEEE Floating Point register address ranges 

  Smart-polling of BACnet objects (only actively polled when active on the Modbus BMS side)
