FPC Gateway

The FPC Gateway is an external, high performance, low cost Building and Industrial Automation multi-protocol gateway providing KEP’s flow computers instant multiprotocol deployment to field protocol, quickly enabling the KEP flow computer to communicate to systems and devices using modern open protocols.

Kessler-Ellis Products pre-programs the FPC Gateway to provide a virtual plug-and-play, easy, complete protocol package for the user including: BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Metasys N2 by JCI, Modbus TCP, LonWorks and many others. There are no configuration files to download in the field and all configurations are available to the user/installer simply by selecting the proper DIP switches.

Features

Support multiple ST2 Flow Computer profiles.
Designed to be full featured, field programmable, and with multiple protocol support for any protocol translation between Serial, Ethernet, or LonWorks environments.
Three methods of configuration:
1. Configuration Auto-Selector (via DIP switches
2. Auto-Discover known devices
3. Profile selection via Web Configurator to load
multiple configurations
Multiple hardware solutions available interfacing with RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, Ethernet or LonWorks.
Support one or multiple field protocols in single FPC.
Supports up to 10,000 Host and Field Protocol memory points depending upon model selected.
BACnet COV support provides fast data communication while reducing the traffic over a BACnet network.
Supports virtual nodes allowing multiple flow computers to connect to a single FPC and seen as separate controllers on the various field networks.
Easily supports user’s custom proprietary host serial or Ethernet protocols.
Multi-Client and Multi-Server support ensures interoperability between any Industrial and or Building Automation protocols.
