3. General Introduction

This Intesis® gateway allows you to integrate Serial and IP protocols easily.
This document describes the available applications for this gateway:
• Modbus® TCP & RTU Client to BACnet®/IP & MSTP Server
• BACnet/IP & MSTP Client to Modbus TCP & RTU Server
• BACnet/IP & MSTP Client to ASCII IP & Serial Server
IMPORTANT
This document assumes that the user is familiar with BACnet, Modbus, and ASCII technologies and
their technical terms.
NOTE
Some sections provide general information common to all applications, while others highlight
specific differences, capacities, or limitations.
In general terms, you must have a BACnet, Modbus, or ASCII control and monitoring system on one side and a
Modbus or BACnet installation or device on the other side (only one at a time).
IMPORTANT
The Intesis gateway can act as a server or client for BACnet and Modbus but only as a server for
ASCII.
As always, the configuration process is fast and easy:
1. Launch the configuration tool.
2. Select the template.
3. Connect the Intesis gateway to the PC.
4. Adjust the configuration and signals to your project.
5. Send the configuration to the gateway.
And you are ready to go!
