Integration
X-Gate is an advanced Linux based device with the main capability to translate protocols from a “source of data”and make these data (typically data-points) available for a specific “destination of data”.
The unit can be easily installed into an electrical panel thanks to the DIN-rail mounting design.
X-Gate has been designed with as modular concept and on the main board there are multiple built-in access channels:
- 2 independent ethernet card to maintain separate and secure the potential two LAN network connected.
- 1 RS485 port
- 1 CANBus port
Furthermore X-Gate can accommodate an extra RS485 port as expansion module.
X-Gate provides northbound integration with Building Management System (BMS) by reading the OpenXML from System Manager and translating into: Modbus IP or BACnet IP.
On the Southbound, X-Gate can source data from the common list of protocols:
- Modbus RTU (or ASCII) or TCP/IP
- BACNet IP or MS/TP
- CANBus
On the Northbound, X-Gate can provide data over a common list of protocols:
- Modbus RTU or TCP/IP
- BACNet IP
- SNMP
