FieldServer Gateways and Routers for Integrators

For systems integrators and installers, time is money. The longer it takes to commission a site, the longer it takes to get paid. Unfortunately, integrators and installers are often caught by surprise by some of the requirements they find on site. For example, it might be necessary to integrate a legacy fire panel to a BACnet management system, or it might be necessary to use a proprietary protocol built on XML to connect a simple Mod bus device to a cloud service. Given the protocol soup that exists today, the integrator has to expect one or more surprises on site.

Integrators and installers need a versatile and flexible protocol gateway they can rely on to deal with surprises. While the majority of automation projects may require just a handful of well-known protocols, obscure protocols are always lurking around the corner, ready to delay the install. Integrators and installers need to know that their protocol gateways not only support the most efficient, standards-compliant, and certified implementations of the well-known protocols, but also support the drivers required to connect obscure Protocol X to obscure Protocol Y. Sierra Monitor’s FieldServer protocol gateways support more than 140 protocols, the highest number in the industry by far.
