Connect Your Rockwell Programmable Controller To Your Building Automation System

Many Building Systems use Programmable Controllers to implement building control logic. Until now, it has been difficult and expensive to exchange data between Allen Bradley AB Programmable Controllers and BACnet/IP enabled Building Automation Systems (BAS). For some RA PLCs there was no device that would connect it to a BAS System.

That’s where the 460ETCBS comes in

The 460ETCBS changes all that and gives you an amazing tool to quickly and easily integrate your BACnet/IP enabled BAS with any Allen Bradley PLC. Even the legacy PLC5Es and SLC 5/05s. With this small, din rail module you can now use BACnet/IP  Analog Properties to access the registers or tags in your Allen Bradley PLC.  No Ladder Logic or other programming necessary.

The 460ETCBS exists for one purpose and one purpose only; Move data between a BACnet system and a RA PLC. This means you will never have to deal with additional features you don’t need.  You wont have to search through a hundred page manual, or burn the midnight oil to set up this unit.  The 460ETCBS is designed for a single purpose move data from your BAS to an Allen Bradley PLC.

What Makes it so Simple to Use?

Your data transfer is configured via your internet browser.  You define the Registers and/or Tags in your PLC and the BACnet Analog Input and Output Properties for each of those Tags and/or Registers. There is no software to download or code to futz with.  It sounds simple, and it is; that’s the point. 

The 460ETCBS is the smart connection solution for moving data from BACnet/IP data to Micrologix, PLC5E and SLC 505 PLCs. 

How Does It Work?

The products in the Instant Device Converter product line contain an IEC 61131-3 Control Engine that moves your data between the different network buffers. Input data from one network is moved to the output buffer of one or more other networks. The same principle applies to data moving in the opposite direction.

Because the unit features a Control Engine the transfer of data can be customized to meet your specific application requirements. Just call 1-800-249-1612 for details.
