FAQ:

Can you connect BACnet MS/TP devices to the N2 Bus?

Not today. This is a planned future capability. There are several things underway that will lay the groundwork for being able to support this.

  • BACnet IP downstream. The ability to utilize BACnet IP as a Downstream interface to the S4 Open appliances.

  • BACnet device discovery: The ability to treat BACnet interfaces like a downstream interface to the S4 Open appliances.

  • BACnet MS/TP support. The ability to utilize BACnet MS/TP as a source for either Upstream or Downstream interfaces.

  • N2 VND device emulation. The ability to make discovered devices look like Vendor, VND, devices on the N2 bus.

  • .PRN file creation. The ability to create a .PRN file from any discovered devices.

When all of these components are in place we will be able to publish MS/TP devices to any supported upstream interface including N2, BACnet IP, OPC, and any others that we add support for.
