Router connects HVAC drives to IP network

Electrical Review Logo

Drives can be easily connected to a HVAC system with BACnet, using an IP router from ABB. The RBIP-01 router eliminates the need for gateways and is compatible with all ABB HVAC drives, including older product generations.

The RBIP-01 router transfers data between the IP network and MS/TP (RS-485), a network standard used by many devices in HVAC installations, such as drives. Unlike a gateway, the router does not interpret data or translate from one language into another, but simply passes on the data from one medium to another. This makes the router much easier to set up than a gateway and ensures that no information is lost during the transfer.
