INBACPAN001R100 – Panasonic ECOi/PACi to BACnet MS/TP Gateway

INBACPAN001R100 – Panasonic ECOi/PACi to BACnet MS/TP Gateway. 

The INBACPAN001R100 is a professional BACnet MS/TP interface developed by Intesis, designed to enable fully bidirectional communication between Panasonic ECOi and PACi air conditioning systems and BACnet MS/TP networks. This compact device allows direct integration of Panasonic indoor units into BMS or SCADA environments based on BACnet MS/TP protocol.

Equipped with the BTL certification, the gateway guarantees full interoperability with other BACnet devices. It enables seamless access to all essential HVAC parameters such as operation mode, temperature setpoint, fan speed, and error monitoring. Additionally, it supports advanced functionalities like internal variable monitoring, filter maintenance tracking via the operating hours counter, and error reporting.

Its plug-and-play installation and configuration through built-in DIP switches make it a highly practical solution for installers and integrators. The device supports simultaneous operation by both the Panasonic remote controller and the BACnet MS/TP system, allowing for hybrid control scenarios without loss of functionality.

Key Features:

• BTL certified – ensuring full compatibility with BACnet systems
• Supports only BACnet MS/TP (no IP)
• Easy configuration via built-in DIP switches
• No external power supply required – powered by the AC unit
• Small form factor: 93 x 53 x 58 mm
• Multiple installation options: DIN rail, wall mount, or inside indoor unit (model dependent)
• Fixed BACnet objects representing HVAC properties and functions
• Energy-saving logic: occupancy function reduces HVAC energy costs
• Advanced diagnostics: access internal variables, error codes, and runtime counter

This gateway is particularly well-suited for projects where efficient energy use and remote control of climate systems are required. It supports real-time monitoring and integration of Panasonic ECOi and PACi systems into smart building infrastructures. Thanks to its compact size and industrial-grade durability, it can be installed even in space-limited control panels or integrated into AC units in certain Panasonic models.
