IG03 BACnet Gateway

Digital / Controllers

The Innotech® BACnet Gateway is a protocol gateway between Innotech Controllers via the Innotech Net Comms network and BACnet devices via BAC/IP or MSTP networks.

The basic operation of the BACnet Gateway is to pass data between Innotech and BACnet networks. Points which are to be shared are mapped in the Innotech Fusion software and transferred to the Gateway.

The operation of the Gateway is to interrogate both the Innotech and BACnet networks to store the current value of the mapped points. The value is then regularly updated to the mapped point on the opposing network.

LED Indication

Power (Red LED)
- Indicates power is supplied to the device
Heartbeat (Green LED)
- Regular flashing indicates device is operational
Comms (3 x Bicolour LEDs)
- Indicate RS485 network activity on each channel. The LEDs for each channel are physically aligned with the appropriate comms connector for that channel.
- Transmit = Red, Receive = Green
Link (Orange LED, RJ45 Socket)
- Indicates connectivity to Ethernet
Activity (Green LED, RJ45 Socket)
- Indicates network activity

Communications
The BACnet Gateway acts as the network master managing communications on the Innotech Net Comms Network. As such, all Innotech Net Comms traffic must pass through the Gateway.

iComm Communications Server must be configured to communicate to the Innotech device network through the "PC" RS485 port or Ethernet port on the Gateway. The Device Network must be connected to the "NET" RS485 port.

PC
- RS485 Serial communications channel for interfacing with Innotech Head End Software. Connectivity is provided through a 5-way pluggable screw terminal connector on the front of the product.
Net
- RS485 Serial communications channel for interfacing with Innotech Network Devices. The BACnet Gateway will manage the communications required for correct Gateway operation and Communications from iComm Connectivity is provided through a 5-way pluggable screw terminal connector on the front of the product.
BACnet MSTP
- RS485 Communications channel for interfacing directly with a BACnet MSTP network. Connectivity is provided through a 3-way pluggable screw terminal on the bottom right of the device. Termination is provided by the use of a jumper next to the connector if this is required for the BACnet MSTP network.
Ethernet
- Ethernet communications channel which can be used for dedicated data transmission of Innotech data to iComm and provide a BAC/IP connection for the BACnet Gateway. Connectivity is provided through an RJ45 socket on the top right of the product.

The BACnet Gateway is pre-programmed with the following TCP/IP parameters:
