Information About FLG-MODBUS
The FLG-MODBUS is part of Alerton's family of field-level gateways developed to bridge communication between BACnet and third-party Modbus devices without requiring complex protocol converters. Operating as a single BACnet device on the MS/TP network, the gateway polls connected Modbus equipment and automatically maps data into BACnet objects that can be monitored and controlled by Alerton supervisory systems. The unit supports either a point-to-point EIA-232 connection or a multidrop EIA-485 network accommodating up to ten Modbus slave devices. Powered by an AZ60 processor with nonvolatile Flash memory, the gateway provides reliable protocol conversion, configurable communication parameters, and advanced diagnostic capabilities for commercial and industrial building automation applications.
Key Features:
- Native BACnet gateway: Converts Modbus RTU data into BACnet objects for building automation systems.
- Dual communication interfaces: Supports both Modbus EIA-232 and EIA-485 connections.
- Multi-device support: Connects up to 10 Modbus slave devices on an EIA-485 network.
- BACnet object mapping: Supports up to 100 Analog Values (AVs) and 100 Binary Values (BVs).
- High-speed communications: Configurable baud rates from 4,800 to 115,200 bps.
- AZ60 processor: Provides reliable protocol conversion and fast transaction processing.
- Nonvolatile Flash memory: Retains configuration during power interruptions.
- User-configurable parameters: Adjustable polling interval, response timeout, and communication thresholds.
- Advanced diagnostics: Simplifies commissioning and troubleshooting of connected devices.
- Field service connector: Includes MS/TP header for Alerton FST-100 service tool connection.
- Industrial reliability: Designed for continuous operation in commercial automation environments.
- Flexible integration: Ideal for chillers, VFDs, boilers, meters, and other Modbus-enabled equipment.
The FLG-MODBUS delivers the reliability and precision required for integrating Modbus equipment into BACnet building automation systems and centralized HVAC control.
