BACnet IoT Gateway
Overview
The secure BACnet IoT Gateways are fully integrated with the SMC Cloud
Platform. The gateways enable users to easily connect new and legacy
BACnet devices to the cloud. These gateways connect BACnet devices
and networks to the cloud via wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi or cellular)
installations. BACnet devices can instantly be cloud enabled to support
secure remote device monitoring, control, data collection and alarming.
BACnet IoT Gateways have an embedded OpenVPN server, enabling
secure remote connectivity to Ethernet BACnet devices.
The gateways provide powerful device discovery and management across
both serial and Ethernet BACnet networks. User tools enable easy gateway
configuration to deliver BACnet objects to the cloud, either as individual
devices or as filtered object groups.
The BACnet IoT Gateways are the fastest and easiest way to cloud-enable
BACnet products in the field, providing secure remote access to installed
fleets of BACnet devices. These gateways are delivered ready to discover, cloud connect and manage any BACnet devices without
any programming or mapping (plug and play).
Benefits of the BACnet IoT Gateway
l Deploy in an hour, not years.
l Eliminate all custom engineering development
time and expense.
l Register gateways seamlessly through MSA’s
tenant based IoT Cloud Platform.
l Utilize cloud data by viewing on the dashboard
or download as CSV, JSON, Webhooks or
RESTful API.
l Enabling OpenVPN allows remote connection to Ethernet devices in the field with management/ configuration programs to
perform diagnostics, download new firmware and reprogram the device without going to the site. Connection to webservers
located on remote segmented Ethernet devices is also available.
l Generate cloud-based notifications/alarms via SMS and/or emails, keeping users informed as events occur.
l Includes a fully functional BACnet Explorer that allows user support teams to locally or remotely browse and command any
of the devices on the BACnet network.
l On-board diagnostics allow easy troubleshooting for both serial and Ethernet communications.
l Can push up to 1,000 BACnet Objects to the SMC Cloud.
l FieldSafe adds a wealth of security options, including: web configuration page authentication (self-signed certificates),
robust user and password management features.
l MQTT connection to 3rd party clouds available.

FieldServer Data Sheet – BACnet IoT Gateway
SMC IoT Cloud
l The SMC Cloud can use Webhooks or RESTful API make device data
to be available to 3rd party cloud platforms. The cloud platform has no
firewall dependencies through HTTPS by utilizing TLS/SSL (Transport
Layer Security/Secure
Sockets Layer) to ensure data security – port 80 & 443.
l No annual subscription to connect FieldServers to the SMC Cloud
Platform for 50 data points per minute up to 2023.
l Firmware upgradable via SMC Cloud with admin access.
SMC IoT Dashboard
l The SMC Cloud Platform Dashboard provides enriched data visualization. Features include data metrics (averages and
real time values displayed in gauges and graphs) enabling collaboration and comparison of results across multiple sites.
