LightMaster MODBUS Gateway
The ILC LightMaster MODBUS Gateway provides a gateway between a Building Automation System (BAS) that uses the MODBUS communications protocol and the ILC LightMaster network via standard CAT-5 cable. The host system can then poll the status of the networked LightMaster Controller's inputs, poll status of relay groups and issue ON/OFF commands to the LightMaster's network panels.- Provides single point control interface between systems using MODBUS control protocol and ILC's LightMaster network
- Uses standard ASCII or RTU control protocol
- Connect directly to the MODBUS RS 485 bus
- Used in LightMaster Standard or Extended Networks
- Allows status reporting and direct control of relays
- Adjustable protocol settings
- RJ45 connectors for LightMaster data line cable
- Custom configurations available
