The EZ Gateway KNX to BACnet (FS-EZX-KNX-BAC) is an easy-to-use, high-performance building and industrial automation protocol gateway for integrators to interface KNX certified products to BACnet management systems in commercial buildings, campuses, and industrial facilities. KNX-certified products encompass a wide range of applications such as lighting control, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning control, shutter/blind and shading control, alarm monitoring, energy, gas, and water metering, and audio and video distribution. The EZ Gateway KNX to BACnet integrates such KNX-based devices and systems to BACnet-based management systems over BACnet MS/TP or BACnet/IP protocols.
The EZ Gateway KNX to BACnet combines field-hardened KNX and BACnet protocol drivers with an easy-to-use configuration interface. The EZ Gateway’s KNX interface is compatible with all KNX-certified products, while the EZ Gateway’s BACnet interface has been certified by BACnet Test Laboratory (BTL). The intuitive web-based interface allows configurations to be built in the field or in the office, thereby simplifying the commissioning and integration process.
MSA Safety’s unique FieldServer DeviceProxy™ feature allows each KNX device to be presented as a corresponding virtual BACnet devise within the EZ Gateway, thereby providing granular visibility and control over each KNX device from within a BACnet management framework. For example, offline/online status is visible at the individual KNX device.
With the EZ Gateway KNX to BACnet, the integrator/contractor does not need to be a protocol expert and can minimize configuration and commissioning time, while also reducing ongoing operating and maintenance costs.
KNX-certified products encompass a wide range of applications such as lighting control, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning control, shutter/blind and shading control, alarm monitoring, energy, gas, and water metering, and audio and video distribution. The EZ Gateway KNX to BACnet integrates such KNX-based devices and systems to both flavors of BACnet-based management systems over BACnet MS/TP or BACnet/IP protocols. KNX to BACnet protocol translations include:
KNX to BACnet/IP
KNX to BACnet MS/TP
1. MSA GRID SUPPORT
- Register your EZ Gateway to the MSA Grid interface for remote access to local applications, configuration, and device management
2. KNX INTEROPERABILITY
- Connect with virtually any KNX-certified device out of the box
- ETS Support: Seamlessly import KNX Group addresses from ETS to lower commissioning time
3. BACNET COV
- Use the Change of Value (CoV) setting to reduce the amount of BACnet data overhead to allow network traffic to be less congested by transmitting data only when detecting a KNX device status has changed
4. DEVICEPROXY™
- Minimize management and operational costs with granular visibility and control over each KNX device from a BACnet management station
5. REMOTE ACCESS AND SUPPORT
- All FieldServer gateways come with Remote Access support. Once registered to the MSA Grid, use the Remote Access capability to attach to the FieldServer gateway to monitor, maintain and troubleshoot installed equipment
