AFTEK PROTOCOL CONVERTER: Device To Deal With Compatibility and Integration Issues

Aug. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Pune, Maharashtra – Aftek Limited – Aftek’s Protocol Converters (APC) are designed to resolve compatibility issues. APC series help to get rid of integration nightmares. Now there is no need to spend excess time and money or compromise on quality products that do not support standard protocols.APC series of protocol converters convert various standard protocols such as Modbus, BACnet®, LonWorks® and proprietary protocols spanning across different physical mediums such as RS-232, RS-485 in addition to power line, Ethernet and twisted pair. You can configure communication parameters of APC using a simple Windows based configuration utility.

Why do I need an Aftek’s Protocol Converter?
Building Hi-Tech infrastructure requires various intelligent devices to interoperate with each other or with central monitoring and control systems. Manufacturers support different protocols depending upon various factors such as targeted market, popular protocol for that class of device, etc. This becomes a bottleneck in interoperability. For example air conditioning systems which support LonWorks interface can’t be connected to BACnet based BMS. Worst affected are those who support proprietary protocols. Thus non-compliance with required protocol affects the sales of otherwise quality and trusted devices.

Key features
