Communication gateway BASGLX-M1

Ethernet TCP/IPRS-232RS-485

Product overview
The BASGLX-M1 BACnet gateway provides protocol translation and monitoring between a Pertronic F220 fire alarm indicator panel and a Building Management System (BMS). The unit converts selected Modbus/GPIB panel data into BACnet objects for integration with BACnet-enabled BMS platforms.

Functionality
Configuration software lets integrators map panel data items to BACnet objects. The gateway monitors broadcasts from the Pertronic F220 and reports defined states and events to the BMS via BACnet/IP over Ethernet.

Features

• BACnet interface between Pertronic F220 (and compatible F120A) fire alarm panel and BMS
• Contemporary Controls BASGatewayLX gateway module with Pertronic GPIB-M Modbus interface
• 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with auto-negotiation and Auto-MDIX for BMS network connection
• Configurable BACnet objects representing panel states (alarm, isolate, sprinkler, evacuate, faults, communications)
• Panel software entities supported (e.g. Brigade, Smoke Alarm, Call Point Alarm) as defined in panel configuration
• GPIB Modbus module includes RS232 port for configuration
• Optically isolated RS-485 port for panel connection; typically installed inside fire alarm cabinet
