What is the i-Vu Open Link?
The i-Vu Open Link is a BACnet device router that acts as a gateway between the BACnet IP network and a
BACnet MS/TP network. The i-Vu Open Link increases the capacity of an Open system, allowing individual
MS/TP networks (with up to 60 Open controllers each) to be connected via a common BACnet/IP backbone.
The i-Vu Open Link can also integrate third-party equipment, supporting BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Modbus
RTU, Modbus/IP, and LON FT-10 protocols. The i-Vu Open Link has one EIA-485 port for connecting to the
Open or third-party MS/TP bus, and one jumper-configurable EIA-232/EIA-485 port for connecting to a
Modbus or LonWorks network. It also has one 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port for connecting to the building
LAN and integrating to third-party IP control networks.
