Issue
Are the Infilink and B-Link interchangeable or can they be converted?
Product Line
Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building OperationEnvironment
- Infilink 200
- B-Link
Cause
Both units are RS-485 repeaters; is there a difference?
Resolution
You cannot convert from an Infilink 200 to a B-Link. They are both RS-485 repeaters, but the circuitry is slightly different to handle the electrical requirements of the BACnet MS/TP and the Infinet. You must use the correct unit for the network type you have.
The multiple ports on both repeaters (Infilink and B-Link) allow you to construct a star topology configuration, but note that devices in each spoke (port on the repeater) MUST be connected in a daisy chain topology.
Neither product contains any firmware that can be changed.
