1 About the ProtoCessor
ProtoCessor is a family of embedded or external low cost, high performance Building and Industrial Automation multi-
protocol gateways.
With one part number, the ProtoCessor products are pre-programmed to automatically support one to many of the same or
different OEM products to multiple different protocols.
This guide provides an overview to the ProtoCessor family of protocol gateway solutions and the steps required to utilize
each gateway option.
By adopting the ProtoCessor solution 140+ Industrial and Building Automation protocols are instantly available. The
ProtoCessor solution translates from a common Serial or Ethernet protocol on the OEM’s controller to the desired field
protocol (Serial, Ethernet or LonWorks).
The ProtoCessor is cloud ready and connects with MSA Grid. For FieldServer Manager instructions, refer to the MSA Grid -
FieldServer Manager Start-up Guide on the MSA Safety website.
