AERCO Communications Gateway is a standalone module designed to allow new and installed Benchmark or KC1000 boilers, KC1000 water heaters, Modulex boilers, and the company's Helitherm, SmartPlate and U-Tube Double Wall lines of indirect heaters to interface to a customer's BACNET, Johnson N2 or Lonworks-based Building Automation System (BAS). Although AERCO's products are designed to support direct integration via Modbus open protocol, this new add-on module eliminates the extra work and reduces the expense of translating between Modbus and the protocol of the customer's installed BAS system.

The gateway is packaged in a UL-recognized plastic enclosure that can be installed on a wall or mounted on a BMK or KC unit using a steel mounting bracket. All three protocols reside in the gateway with the desired protocol selected by the customer using a dipswitch.
The standard gateway is programmed for:
  • Up to 12 Benchmark, KC1000 or Modulex units
  • Up to 4 indirect heaters
  • One BMS or BMSII
A list of standard control points is offered for each category of equipment.

A custom program option, to support access to up to 300 customer selected data points is also available.
