DESCRIPTION
E8950 Modbus-to-BACnet Protocol Converter enables easy integration of a broad
selection of Veris meters with Building Automation Systems via BACnet protocol.
When networked, the E8950 detects supported Modbus meters and gives them
a unique BACnet Device ID and full set of measurement data and configuration
objects. Simply select the desired MS/TP baud rate using DIP switches or configure
the IP interface using the integral web server, and the supported Veris Modbus
meters are available as fully-supported BACnet devices.
APPLICATIONS
● Energy Management with Building Automation Systems
● Integrated metering of HVAC systems and chillers
Integrate Multiple Modbus
Meters into a BACnet Network

● Each E8950 can support up to 1000 BACnet measurement points (or 32 meters
max., if <1000 total points)...extensive data collection
● Simultaneously supports mixed meter types (with common baud rate)...
versatility in the field
● Simple to set up...automatically detects supported meters and configures
BACnet objects...no manual mapping of Modbus points required
● Presents a separate device object for each meter attached...easy to program
● Can be mounted on DIN rail or wall...installation flexibility
* The logging functionality of these meters is not supported.
