INBACPRT1K20000 – Industrial PROFINET to BACnet IP & MS/TP Gateway for PLC/BMS Integration

INBACPRT1K20000 – PROFINET to BACnet IP & MS/TP Gateway for Industrial PLC/BMS Integration. 

The INBACPRT1K20000 is an advanced industrial gateway designed to enable bidirectional communication between PROFINET PLCs and BACnet-based building management systems. Acting simultaneously as a PROFINET I/O device and a BACnet server (supporting both BACnet IP and MS/TP), it ensures seamless data exchange and synchronization between automation and HVAC systems in demanding building or industrial environments. This gateway is ideal for applications where high reliability, certified interoperability, and simple integration are crucial.

Fully certified with BTL and UL marks, the INBACPRT1K20000 guarantees maximum compatibility and compliance with BACnet standards. It supports advanced BACnet features such as trend logs and calendars, offering full monitoring and control capabilities. On the PROFINET side, the device functions as a standard PROFINET-IO interface, easily integrated using provided GSDML and TAG files. This ensures that system integrators can rapidly configure the device into their automation networks without any specialized scripting.

Configuration is handled through Intesis MAPS, a powerful PC-based software tool that accelerates commissioning with templates, live diagnostics, and project management tools. MAPS allows users to map BACnet objects to PROFINET tags with minimal effort, ensuring a transparent and intuitive workflow. The device supports up to 500 bytes of input and output data, allowing it to manage complex integration scenarios involving dozens of variables or multiple AC units.

With a robust plastic ABS enclosure (UL 94 V-0) and compact dimensions (90x160x58 mm), the INBACPRT1K20000 is ready for DIN rail installation in control panels. Its operating temperature range from 0°C to +60°C and IP20 rating ensure reliable operation in industrial settings. Additional connectivity options include USB (for firmware updates and configuration storage), dual Ethernet ports for network redundancy, and serial ports for legacy device support. The device also features onboard DIP-switches for port-specific configurations.

This gateway is particularly useful in applications such as HVAC control, lighting automation, access systems, or any integration scenario where a PROFINET-based PLC (such as from Siemens or Phoenix Contact) must communicate with BACnet field devices. Thanks to its versatility, the INBACPRT1K20000 helps reduce integration complexity and time, lowers commissioning costs, and ensures long-term maintainability of BMS infrastructure.
