LORA-2-GLT P135000 LoRa-2-Bacnet Gateway - Extendend - All-in-One Gateway LoRaWAN to BACnet IP

With the ime LoRa-2-GLT Gateway Extended you have an all-in-one gateway to connect your building management system (BMS) with wireless LoRa sensors via BACnet IP or Modbus. This allows you to enrich your BMS with wireless, battery-operated sensors. This makes it a smart building solution for existing or new BMS installations in locations where cabling is expensive or even impossible, such as in listed buildings.

5 DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES IN THE LORA-2-GLT EXTENDED

The LoRa-2-GLT Extended is basically a combination of different technologies in one gateway, namely:

LoRaWAN server. The extended gateway is equipped with a web interface as standard. The internal LoRaWAN server works with an external LoRaWAN gateway (purchased separately). This is how you can build a private LoRa network. You therefore do not need a public LoRa or external LoRaWAN server. This also eliminates monthly recurring costs.
Payload converter. The payload conversion of the LoRa sensors is also carried out by the LoRa-2-GLT Gateway Extended. Therefore, you do not need an external payload converter server. This also avoids monthly costs for the payload converter server.
LoRa, BACnet IP, MQTT and KNX. These protocols are integrated into the gateway and can be configured via the web interface by default. These are used to communicate with your LoRa sensors, PLC, GLT, Scada or HMI.
Node RED. Modbus IP, OPC UA, MS Azure, Amazon IoT Hub and many other protocols are flexibly available via Node-RED to connect to IoT platforms or other systems. Example workflows have been created for this purpose.
SecureVPN. Optionally we can offer a secure VPN. This means you also have secure remote access to the LoRa-2-GLT Extended Gateway.

ARCHITECTURE OF THE LORA-2-GLT GATEWAY WITH BACNET

With the ime LoRa-2-GLT Extended solution you have the advantages of your building management system and the advantages of wireless, battery-operated sensors. This allows you to quickly implement successful smart building solutions. Below you can see what the solution looks like.

HIGH COST SAVINGS THANKS TO THE GATEWAY

The LoRa-2-GLT Gateway Extended is an intelligent device that offers many advantages. For example:

Cost Savings: This gateway basically combines 5 techniques. This means you no longer have to purchase these components separately. You can now also use wireless sensors instead of wired sensors in your smart building project. The cabling alone costs on average around €300 per wired sensor. With this solution you save these costs.
Easy configuration: This gateway is easy to configure using the intuitive wizard. This means that every installer can install the LoRa-2-GLT Extended Gateway themselves, if necessary with the help of our test reports.
Connect i/o’s: Wireless LoRa sensors can be connected for data transmission and/or control of i/o’s. This enables bidirectional communication. Note: Controlling outputs is only possible with LoRa Class C sensors.
Easily expandable: The solution can be flexibly expanded with additional hardware and software functions. For example with protocols: Modbus, P1, GPIO and protocols: BACnet, MQTT, Azure IoT Hub, Amazon AWS-MQTT.

COMBINE THE LORA-2-GLT GATEWAY EXTENDED WITH LORA SENSORS

The LoRa-2-GLT Gateway Extended works with all LoRa sensors supplied by ime mobile solutions. These sensors are automatically deployed via the configuration wizard. Therefore, you don't need to do difficult payload decoding yourself; We have already done that for you. Many other LoRa manufacturers are already supported. Check the documentation to see if your sensor manufacturer is already supported.

The following sensors are also available from ime mobile solutions and their optimal function is guaranteed:

Elsys ERS series air quality (CO2, VOC, temperature, humidity, light)
Elsys EMS series workplace occupancy, door open/closed
Advantech Wise Series Industrial Vibration and Temperature Measurements
Bosch Parking Lot Sensor parking space management
Adeunis All LoRa sensors energy measurements (Modbus, analog, digital, pulse)
Enginko All LoRa sensors Energy management and air quality (CO2, VOC, particulate matter)

TESTED WITH LEADING MANUFACTURERS

ime mobile solutions continuously tests this gateway with leading building management systems. We have now validated the LoRa-2-GLT Gateway Extended on Priva Blue-ID, Distech ECY-S1000, Johnson Controls Metasys and Schneider. Find out more about test reports at vertrieb@ime.de. This means you are well prepared for a successful installation.

The big distinguishing feature of the extended version is the freely programmable output via Node-RED. This allows you to use all protocols available in Node-RED, such as Siemens S7 or OPC UA.

SCOPE OF DELIVERY

LoRa-2-GLT Extended Gateway with built-in configuration wizard and DIN rail clip
A license for a LoRa gateway
Quick guide
One license for 250 sensors
One license for one protocol (from LoRa to BACnet, MQTT or KNX)

OPTIONAL

External LoRa gateway. For small buildings we recommend: Indoor LoRa Gateway Kerlink iZeptocell. For larger buildings we recommend: Indoor LoRa Gateway Kerlink iFemtocell. For outdoor environments we recommend: Outdoor LoRa Gateway Kerlink iStation.
If you use 2 or more LoRa gateways with the LoRa-2-GLT Extended Gateway, you also need an additional LoRa Gateway SW license per additional LoRa gateway.
If you need more than 250 sensors, you can reorder a pack.
If you use more than one protocol, you can reorder a license for each additional protocol. With Node-RED you are free to configure each protocol conversion yourself.
The optional Secure VPN solution (remote access to the gateway) is possible via SmartNetVPN - find out about the options when selling.

SOFTWARE ASSURANCE FOR FUTURE-PROOF SOLUTIONS

Mandatory software assurance is required for the gateway. This means you are guaranteed optimal functionality in the future with the building management system you choose and the LoRa sensors you choose. You pay a small annual fee for this. You must also order this software assurance
