METZ 11088001 BMT-RTR BACnet Router

Connect BACnet MS/TP field devices to a BACnet/IP network with the METZ BMT-RTR router. It supports up to 64 MS/TP devices and offers galvanic isolation between Ethernet and RS485 for reliable operation.

Overview

The METZ BMT-RTR is a BACnet router that bridges BACnet MS/TP and BACnet/IP networks. It features one 10/100Base-T Ethernet port and one RS485 serial port for MS/TP communication. The device supports MS/TP baud rates from 9.6 to 115.2 kbit/s and can handle up to 64 MS/TP devices. Configuration is done via a web interface or DIP switches, and status is indicated by LEDs for power, Ethernet link/activity, and MS/TP activity.
