Hi all
We have a PDU with Modbus RTU and project specs are requesting for BACnet. MGate 5217 was suggested as gateway but conversion process is tedious.
Do I choose the wrong one?
TY

I've never used BACnet but it seems like any other client/server protocol. I've used MODBUS extensively and maybe the biggest difference between the two is that BACnet employs some security features that are absent from MODBUS?
