Hello,
I hope I writing topic in correct forum segment.
I have to bind 2 networks together - 1 is based on BACnet and 2nd is Infinet (Andover Controls with Continuum - old system).
Now working on best solution for that - found so far that bCX1-R(CR) can do this job - to make communication possible over the Ethernet TCP/IP & BACnet/IP.
Is there any solutions to integrate two networks together at the workstation? Like to install/configure software and let say to run Continuum and see BACnet devices or let say to run Niagara and pull Infinet devices?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Hello Andrew,
The first solution that comes to mind is HMS, they have a lot of protocol converters.
Kind regards

Hello Andrew,
I don't think I can put a web link in the message, but if you go to www dot anybus dot com, you will find many protocol converters.
Kind regards

Hey Martyn,
Thank you for this source - these guys really specializing on different converting/routing but seems like they left Infinet (Andover Controls) behind unfortunately.
I have to keep looking.
