Q&A
How can I connect an HVAC unit to building management systems (BACnet, KNX, Modbus, and Home Automation)?
Intesis HVAC gateways from HMS Networks enable communication between most HVAC-units and the major building automation protocols like BACnet, KNX, Modbus, and Home Automation. The gateways are easily configured enabling quick connectivity and control.
What is the difference between individual and centralized connectivity?
HVAC system connectivity and control have two distinct approaches: individual and centralized connectivity. Individual interfaces can help prevent widespread failures on critical projects. The configuration process is very easy and additional hardware for power is not required, as the HVAC gateways draw power directly from the units they control.
The centralized connectivity through a single gateway is a cost-effective solution that reduces initial expenses and ongoing maintenance costs. The installation is a one-time task but maintains the flexibility of individual connectivity, as it also allows for independent indoor unit control.
The choice between individual interfaces and centralized gateways hinges on project-specific needs, balancing factors like redundancy, simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and customizable control.
What protocols and certifications are supported by Intesis solutions?
All the products are certified for the main protocols and markets and are ready to be used worldwide. Connectivity and control are possible for BACnet, KNX, Modbus, and Home Automation systems.
