Description

The dual port Protocol Converter (FDS-PC-DP) connects directly to equipment and converts SNMP, BACnet, and Modbus protocols to one or more of these same protocols for integration into a building management system (BMS) or network management system (NMS).

The FDS-PC-DP has three EIA-485 ports for extended Modbus polling over multiple trunk lines.

The FDS-PC-DP includes a PSWA-DC-24 power supply.
