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.
