Introduction
The GW BMS04 Series is a dedicated Metasys N2 to BACnet IP gateway designed to integrate Johnson Controls Metasys N2–based controllers with modern Building Management Systems. It enables seamless communication between legacy Metasys N2 devices and BACnet-based supervisory systems.
By supporting RS-485 ports and BACnet IP connectivity, the GW BMS04 Series allows reliable data exchange, centralized monitoring, and smooth migration from proprietary N2 networks to open BACnet architectures, helping extend the life of existing field devices while modernizing the BMS infrastructure / SCADA Monitoring Over the Modbus RTU/ TCP Protocol.
Point count is upgradeable to 5000 or 10000 at additional cost.
Up to 32 devices can be multi-dropped on the Modbus RTU/BACnet MSTP/N2 side (Note: this number may vary depending on site conditions).
