Chariot Gateway Course - Free Industrial Automation Training
Intro to the Chariot Gateway Course
What happens when you have a device such as an Energy Meter that supports Modbus and you want to use it in a BACnet system? You need a protocol to protocol gateway.
The Chariot Gateway Course is a program designed to teach the fundamentals of protocol to protocol communications from a practical standpoint. Upon completion, you will be able to understand a devices' Modbus points, map them onto BACnet and implement a gateway which exposes the Modbus data as BACnet data allowing read and write operations.
With the course, you will receive a Chariot Gateway by Chipkin. This protocol converter is a virtual gateway that runs on any Windows computer. It can be used for training as well as deployed in an operational device.
This industrial automation training course will teach you how to complete an integration with the two most common Automation Protocols, BACnet and Modbus. Click here for more information.
If you work or plan to work in automation, integration or instrumentation, you need skills to connect foreign or legacy devices. Enhance those skills with this FREE industrial automation training course.
