What is a i-Vu® Open Link?
The i-Vu® Open Link is a BACnet device router that acts as a gateway between the BACnet IP network and a
BACnet MS/TP network. The i-Vu® Open Link increases the capacity of an Open system, allowing individual MS/TP
networks (with up to 60 Open controllers each) to be connected via a common BACnet/IP backbone.
The i-Vu® Open Link can also integrate third-party equipment, supporting BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Modbus
RTU, Modbus/IP, and LON FT-10 protocols. The i-Vu® Open Link has one EIA-485 port for connecting to the Open
or third
-party MS/TP bus, and one jumper-configurable EIA-232/EIA-485 port for connecting to a Modbus or
LonWorks network. It also has one 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port for connecting to the building LAN and integrating
to third-party IP control networks.
