WebPRTL (Web Portal) is a flexible communications device that combines the functions of a router, a gateway, and a supervisory controller. As a router, its three communication ports can be configured to route communications between various combinations of Ethernet, EIA-232, and EIA-485 networks. As a gateway, it can provide seamless translations for two-way communications between industry standard protocols such as BACnet®, Modbus, LonWorks®, JBUS, or Johnson N2 Bus, as well as an extensive list of proprietary protocols. WebPRTL fully supports EIKON®, a powerful graphical programming tool that can be used to create value added, global control strategies between systems.
