COMTRAXX® COM461MT BMS-Ethernet-Gateway for the connection of Bender devices
with BMS capability to the Ethernet (TCP/IP) via the Modbus/TCP protocol

Product description
The BMS-Ethernet-Gateway COM461MT contains a Modbus/TCP server that converts BMS
data for a Modbus client. A web server makes it possible to configure the COM461MT.
Ethernet-TCP/IP interface:
The coupling is performed via the internal Layer-2 switch. Two Ethernet ports are available.
Interface on the BMS side:
COM461MT can be operated as master or slave.

Possible applications
• T he use of professional visualisation programs by converting the BMS data to the
Modbus/TCP protocol
COM461MT
• O
bserving and analysing Bender products that support communication, such as RCMS,
Device features EDS and MEDICS® systems
• S etting of the IP address, BMS address
and time/date using Standard web
browser
• T ime synchronisation for all BMS
bus devices
• Integrated Ethernet switch:
2 x RJ45, 10/100 Mbit/s
• Can be operated on the internal BMS bus
• M
odbus/TCP data access to the internal
BMS bus, max. 150 BMS devices
• C
ommands can be sent from an external
application (e.g. visualisation software) to
BMS devices and measured values read.
