Product Case
Smart Building Multi-Protocol Integration for Energy and Equipment Management
A facility management company needed to integrate multiple systems across commercial buildings, including HVAC controllers, smart electricity meters, water meters, gas meters, heat meters, environmental sensors and PLC-based equipment. These devices used different communication protocols, such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, BACnet/IP and BACnet/MSTP, making centralized monitoring difficult.
The customer deployed TC-100 Industrial Protocol Converters at equipment rooms and distributed field sites. Through optional RS485, RS232 or CAN interfaces, the TC-100 collected data from on-site devices and converted different protocols into a unified communication format. For building automation systems, the TC-100 supported BACnet/IP and BACnet/MSTP access; for industrial and metering devices, it supported Modbus RTU/TCP data acquisition. In projects requiring platform integration, OPC UA to Modbus conversion could also be configured based on the system architecture.
Using Ethernet or 4G/5G cellular communication, the TC-100 uploaded meter readings, equipment operating status, environmental data and alarm information to the customer’s cloud platform. The WAN and LAN design allowed engineers to separate upstream communication from local maintenance, improving deployment flexibility.
After implementation, the customer achieved centralized monitoring of building energy data and equipment status. The solution reduced manual inspection workload, improved maintenance response efficiency and provided a stable data foundation for smart energy management, building automation and multi-device system integration.
