FN485 Gateway 2

FutureNow FN485 Gateway 2 - RS-485 Gateway with Galvanic Isolation

FutureNow FN485 Gateway 2 is a professional DIN rail-mountable communication gateway designed to convert the FN485 bus from a master/slave architecture into an event-driven multi-master system. It is ideal for advanced building automation and AV installations requiring fast response to input/output status changes of FutureNow modules.

The FN485 Gateway 2 offloads the polling process from the central controller, ensuring faster system response times. It enables immediate reaction to events such as motion detection or relay state changes. Additionally, it functions as a transparent RS232/RS485 converter, allowing direct communication with FN485 modules.

Functionality:

• converts FN485 bus from master/slave to event-driven multi-master architecture
• 60 memory slots for query storage
• galvanically isolated RS-485 bus - protection against voltage spikes
• free PC software for query configuration
• automatic query programming via Control4, AMX drivers
• transparent RS232/FN485 command handling
• supports up to 32 modules per bus (up to 127 with special communication chip)
