BACNET-GW-3
BACnet Gateway

Network Systems

General

The BACNET-GW-3 provides an interface between NOTIFIER’s NOTI•FIRE•NET fire panel network (either the standard or the high-speed version) and a network using the BACnet/IP communication protocol. BACnet protocol is an American National Standard (ANSI/ASHRAE 135-1995). With the Gateway interface, devices on NFN fire alarm control panels are represented as BACnet objects to the BACnet client. The user subscribes to Event Notification objects per FACP, and the BACnet device receives events from objects on the FACP as a result of this subscription.
The BACNET-GW-3 can be connected to a stand-alone ONYX® panel (9th edition) with an available network port, or it can be connected to NOTI•FIRE•NET via the network port on any network control module. Connected to NOTI•FIRE•NET, each BACNET-GW-3 can support a maximum of 14 other nodes or 15,000 objects. Multiple BACNET-GW-3s can be used to interface with larger networks.

Features

The BACNET-GW-3 can monitor up to 14 NOTI•FIRE•NET nodes with a maximum combined object count of 15,000 (object count includes all detectors, monitor modules, notification appliance circuits, etc.).
Multiple BACNET-GW-3s can be used for large networks (more than 15 nodes total).
Provides a built-in configuration tool for simple browser configuration.
The NOTIFIER BACNET-GW-3 can behave as a foreign device when communicating with a third-party BBMD (BACnet Broadcast Management Devices).
