Babel Buster 485XM
is a fully configurable universal Modbus RTU to BACnet MS/TP gateway.
The RTU master is used to make Modbus RTU RS-485 devices accessible on
a BACnet network. The Babel Buster 485XM gateway is designed to be
economical enough to use multiple gateways, one per device or group of
devices, rather than run parallel networks to a larger, more expensive
gateway.
The
Babel Buster 485XM, an RTU master, can poll multiple Modbus slaves.
BACnet data is translated to Modbus register data, and vice versa.
Standard BACnet objects are used for mapping Modbus registers. Any
BACnet client capable of reading and writing object properties can
exchange data with Modbus devices, and configure the gateway. All
configuration is done via object properties requiring no special tools.
However, to streamline the process, we do offer an optional free
Windows MS/TP client configuration tool.

Looking
for the outputs? The "commandable value" object is a properly behaved
BACnet implementation of the Modbus holding register.
Alternate T1 RTU Master (only) device configuration also available (select software option when ordering):
• 40 Writeable AI
• 10 Commandable AV
• 40 Writeable BI
• 10 Commandable BV
Select
option from list when ordering online, or specify "Type 1" on your PO
to get the above alternate configuration. Part number for alternate is
BB485XM-T1. Default is -T2.
Note: The 485XM has been replaced by the BB2-3010, an enhanced version of the same gateway, for the same price. The 485XM will continue to be available for a limited time for maintenance use.
