Siemens PXG3... BACnet router for Ethernet - LONWORKS - MS/TP CM1N9270en_10
Building Technologies 2017-10-16
Use
The PXG3... BACnet router connects a BACnet/IP network to a BACnet/LonTalk
network (PXG3.L only), and/or a BACnet MS/TP channel. BACnet objects are
transmitted simultaneously throughout any and all networks.
Router functions
The PXG3... BACnet router transmits BACnet protocol between a BACnet/IPv4
network, a BACnet/IPv6 network, a BACnet/LonTalk network (PXG3.L only), and a
BACnet MS/TP channel. BACnet objects are simultaneously transmitted thoughout
any and all networks.
Broadcast Management Device, used to distribute BACnet Broadcast messages
across IP Routers.
The BACnet router includes a Device Object and can be operated by a BACnet
Client. Present operating state, date and time as well as statistics on sent
packages can be viewed via web server.
The BACnet router can serve as a Slave Proxy for slaves that are connected to its
MSTP port. In other words, it responds to Who-Is messages on the slaves’ behalf
by sending an I-Am message.
Simple Network Management protocol MIB-2, for monitoring and diagnosing the
BACnet router network interface.
Supports setup of a BACnet network over a NAT device. Additionally, remote
access from a public network to BACnet devices is possible on a private network.
Important: the public IP address must be static.
For security reasons we recommend using VPN tunneling with BACnet NAT.
For details see standard 135-2012 Annex J.
When routing between BACnet/IP and BACnet/IP on one IP network, the BACnet
router address must be the same on both BACnet networks. The difference is that
different BACnet UDP ports are used on the BACnet network.
