| Software Options |
| The standard Babel Buster 485 provides 30 NVOs and 28 NVIs. The -F50 option provides 46 NVOs and 8 NVIs. The -T50 option provides 8 NVOs and 50 NVIs. Select the "T50" option if data is flowing mostly "To Modbus", and "F50" if data is flowing mostly "From Modbus". Select the standard version (no suffix) for a roughly even mix. |
| You can convert Babel Buster 485 to another version simply by re-commissioning the device in LonMaker, and selecting the "Load Application Image". The optional images and XIF files may be downloaded from the zip file right here.

Babel Buster 485 is a fully configurable universal LonWorks to Modbus RTU gateway. The RTU master is used to make Modbus RS-485 devices accessible on a LonWorks network. The RTU slave is used to make LonWorks devices accessible on a Modbus RS-485 network. The Babel Buster 485 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.
An RTU master Babel Buster 485 can poll multiple Modbus slaves, and can be bound to any number of LonWorks devices. An RTU slave Babel Buster 485 responds to a single Modbus slave unit ID, and may be bound to any number of LonWorks devices. LonWorks network variable data is translated to Modbus register data, and vice versa. Modbus polling rates and LonWorks network update rates are fully configurable. Register mapping and network variable types (SNVT) are fully configurable.
The LonMark Certified Babel Buster 485 conforms fully to LonMark version 3.3. The only tool required to configure Babel Buster is LonMaker version 3.
