Panasonic Etherea AC units to BACnet MS/TP Interface
Item number: IN485PAN001I000
The Panasonic-BACnet interface allows full bidirectional communication between Panasonic Etherea air conditioner units and BACnet MS/TP networks. The interface enables BACnet communication via polling or subscription requests (COV), making the indoor unit available through independent BACnet objects.
Panasonic to BACnet MS/TP - 1 indoor unit
Features and benefits
- ✔️ BACnet MS/TP support only: Only the BACnet MS/TP protocol is supported.
- ✔️ AC unit data served as fixed BACnet Objects: Air conditioning unit properties and functionalities are abstracted into fixed BACnet Objects.
- ✔️ Total unit control and monitoring from BACnet: Through internal variables, running hours counter (for maintenance purposes), and error indication.
- ✔️ AC unit control by remote and BACnet MS/TP: The AC unit can simultaneously be controlled via BACnet MS/TP and its own remote controller.
- ✔️ Configuration from onboard DIP switches: The interface configuration is carried out directly through its onboard DIP switches.
- ✔️ Occupancy function to allow energy savings: Occupancy function that helps reduce costs, as HVAC systems are one of the main energy consumers.
- ✔️ Supports nanoe™X air purification filter functions: nanoe™X air purification technology-related filter functions are fully supported.
- ✔️ No external power required: The interface is powered directly from the AC unit, so no external power supply is required.

Installation Conditions
This gateway is designed to be mounted inside an enclosure. If the unit is mounted outside an enclosure, precautions should always be taken to prevent electrostatic discharge to the unit. When working inside an enclosure (e.g., making adjustments, setting switches, etc.), typical anti-static precautions should always be followed before touching the unit.

Use Case
Integration example:
The diagram illustrates an integration scenario. A Panasonic air conditioning unit is connected to the Intesis gateway. The Intesis gateway, identified as BACnet MS/TP EIA-485, communicates with a Building Management System (BMS) or SCADA system. This BMS/SCADA system includes controllers, HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces), and potentially other components, enabling centralized control and monitoring of the HVAC system.
