ProtoNode

Semi-custom design and development project to develop embedded gateway for OEM.

The ProtoNode is an external, high-performance, low-cost building automation and industrial control IIoT gateway for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that provides manufacturers connectivity to the cloud and instant multi-protocol deployment of field protocols, enabling new or legacy devices to easily interface with other protocols. With two Ethernet ports, the ProtoNode FPC-N64 allows data to move seamlessly across disparate subnets and supports physical segmentation for Cloud connectivity, allowing for enhanced LAN security from the WAN/Cloud.

Presentation: When and Why to Use BACnet Routing

OEMs can enjoy the benefits of the cloud connectivity through the MSA Grid. The ProtoNode is MSA Grid-enabled, meaning all ProtoNodes can be registered to the MSA Grid, MSA’s device cloud for the IIoT. The MSA Grid web interface lets users remotely access, in a secure fashion, the FS-GUI and custom web applications that are available locally on the ProtoNode. These applications offer functionality for configuration, monitoring, logging, security, diagnostics, and updates.

1. MSA Grid SUPPORT

Register your ProtoNode to the MSA Grid interface for remote access to local applications, configuration, and device management

2. SERIAL OR ETHERNET ENVIRONMENT SUPPORT

Provide multiple protocol support for any protocol translation as a full-featured, field-programmable OEM protocol gateway solution

3. BACNET PROTOCOL EXPERIENCE

Use the ProtoNode to translate between BACnet MS/TP and BACnet/IP protocols, reduce traffic over a BACnet network by providing fast data communication, and easily connect to remote BACnet networks

4. MULTI-CLIENT SUPPORT

Ensure interoperability between any industrial and/or building automation protocols with one or more of the 140+ protocols supported by MSA

5. ADVANCED AUTO-DISCOVERY

Automatically discover known devices on the network and be configured to provide the protocol translation necessar

6. CONFIGURATION AUTO-SELECTOR

Via DIP switches. Enable manufacturers to pre-load multiple predefined configuration

7. VPN

OpenVPN allows users to remotely connect local software to their remote site ethernet devices via FieldServer for software updates and changes

8. PROXY TUNNEL

An MSA Grid feature that allows users to view the web page on their remote device via the remote FieldServer

9. PROATTACH

This FieldServer feature assists users enter valuable site information to enable rich analytics when analyzing or diagnosing data from all sites via the MSA Grid

10. VIRTUAL DATA POINTS

A rich Edge Gateway feature that enables manipulation of device data on the FieldServer to produce useful data using a JSON logic engine embedded in the FieldServer Gateway
