Communication
The BGS16 utilizes Packet Power’s advanced zero-configuration wireless mesh networking
technology which automatically connects the BGS16 to an Ethernet Gateway when
energized. Each Gateway can support up to fifty BGS16s; additional Gateways can be added
for capacity or redundancy.
The BGS16 must be able to establish a wireless connection either directly to a Gateway or to
another Packet Power wireless device.
Data can be accessed from the Gateway in one of two ways:
Third Party Device Data Acquisition
- Third party monitoring systems can access data
from a Gateway via SNMP, Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, MTConnect, BACnet/IP and
MQTT protocols.
Cloud Based Data Acquisition
- Data can be simultaneously exported to the Packet Power
EMX monitoring portal (local or cloud based).
