Move Modbus RTU Server Register Data To Your BACnet/IP Building Automation Systems
The 460MMBS transfers data between up to 32 Modbus RTU Servers and a BACnet/IP Building Automation System (BAS). It seamlessly integrates a variety of Modbus RTU devices into your BACnet/IP BAS. Made in the USA, it’s always in stock and includes a 5-year warranty.
How Do I Use the 460MMBS in My Application?
For most applications the mapping is very straight forward. Modbus RTU register data is mapped to BACnet/IP analog objects and Modbus RTU coil data is mapped to binary objects in BACnet/IP. The only additional piece required for BACnet is adding meta data which is nothing more than an ASCII description of each object. No other deep understanding of either protocol is required to configure the gateway.

Templates Make it Even Easier!
If you are connecting a power meter, generator or power device there is a very good chance we have a template for you. These templates make configuration as easy as loading a file. Give us a call to include templates with your gateway at no additional charge.
Why Use Real Time Automation as a Gateway Supplier?
The 460MMBS provides an option to access Modbus RTU Server devices on your BACnet/IP system. While there are certainly other companies offering protocol gateways, there is no one who provides the level of support and service that you receive from Real Time Automation. When you call us, a live person answers the phone. If you talk with our sales team, you will get honest answers and recommendations. And rest assured, all the support you get is from an engineer who had a hand in the product’s development, and support doesn’t need a ticket or 24-hour wait. We get back to you as soon as possible. It’s an RTA promise.

What our Customers are Saying
“I challenged a customer to get it working by the time I got back from his break room with a Coke and he indeed had it working when I got back. He then said, "It’s worth twice the price!"”
Eric P. / Kendall Electric
“Everything seems to be working as we imagined. Thanks for the great response time. I did not see any way to save the configuration other than screen shots, but the configuration did not get lost in the update. Thanks again, and you were a pleasure to work with.”
Kevin L. / Extol, Inc.
