The BMS-Ethernet Gateway COM460IP is used to convert Bender-BMS-bus data into TCP/IP protocols. An integrated web server is used for BMS system data representation on any PC via a web browser with Silverlight plugin. Additional software need not to be installed.

Depending on the stage of expansion, the following functions are supported:

Basic functions

• Display of BMS data via a standard web browser with Silverlight
• Display of current operating and alarm messages and measured values
• Commissioning and diagnostic functions for BMS systems
• Time synchronisation for all BMS devices (Time master)***
• Built-in Ethernet switch: 2 x RJ45, 10 / 100 Mbit/s
• LCD for simple address setting
• Operation possible optionally via the internal or external BMS bus
• Modbus/TCP data access for 10 BMS addresses at the internal BMS bus
• Remote access and remote diagnostics via LAN, WAN or Internet
• Password protection

Optional package A – Individual messages*

• Output of system-specific text codes for devices and metering points
• Logging and display of alarms with a time stamp (history memory)
• Comprehensive data logger functions
• E-mail notifications to various use groups in event of alarms and system faults
• PDF report function

Optional package B – Modbus/TCP Gateway

• Modbus/TCP Gateway for status data of all BMS bus devices

Option package C – Parameterisation**

• Fast, simple parameterisation of Bender system settings from a central location
• PDF report function

The basic device can be used as a stand-alone device or in combination with optional packages.

• Modular, expandable gateway between BMS bus and TCP/IP
• Gateway between BMS bus and Ethernet
• Range of functions customisable through options
• Remote access via LAN, WAN or Internet

• Commissioning and diagnostics of BMS bus systems
• Optimum presentation of device and system statuses supported by silverlight functions in the web browser
• Specific system overview according to individual system description
• Selective notification to various user groups in the event of alarms
• Conversion of BMS data to Modbus/TCP protocols permits the use of professional visualisation programs (further protocols on request)
• Bidirectional data exchange with SCADA systems ( Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) or PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) via Modbus/TCP. Connection via BACnet, OPC and other protocols on request.
• Observing and analysing of Bender products, such as RCMS, EDS and MEDICS systems
• Simple and fast parameter settings of BMS systems, storage and documentation of settings
