PRODUCT SUMMARY
Chipkin’s™
VeederRoot® gateway is a protocol converter that can read data and alarms from a
VeederRoot® TLS Panel and serves the data as Modbus, BACnet or Web data. The gateway supports
all these options simultaneously, use the data you want and ignore the other. The Gateway connects
to the TLS Panel, reads data and stores it internally. When a remote system requests data, this data is
served in a form that is appropriate to the protocol. If the connection to the TLS Panel is lost, or data
cannot be read, the gateway can signal this to the remote data client.
