Issue
I/A Series Integration to BACnet PTP protocol
Environment
I/A Series R2
I/A Series G3
Cause
Supported I/A Series BACnet integrations are only BACnet Ethernet, BACnet IP and BACnet MS/TP protocols. There is no driver for integration to BACnet PTP devices.
Resolution
Schneider Electric solution:
- Using the TAC Xenta 913 LonWorks Gateway - The Xenta 913 is able to connect to a BACnet PTP half router. Data can be mapped to LonWorks or BACnet IP which are standard protocols in I/A Series. Knowledge of the Xenta 913 and TAC XBuilder is required to configure the Xenta 913.
Third party solution:
- Use a 3rd party BACnet PTP to BACnet IP, BACnet Ethernet or LonWorks gateway. A company which has the gateways for this is Field Server Technologies. See there BACnet FieldServer Drivers here.
