<<Click Picture to Enlarge

General Description

 

CoolGate M is a versatile Gateway device connecting VRV/VRF Air Conditioning systems (Daikin, Sanyo, Toshiba, Mitsubishi Electric) to BMS or any other industrial controllers. Using ModBus RTU protocol CoolGate M enables full control and monitoring of the indoor units and provides access to VRV system parameters (CoolGate M Pro). In other words CoolGate M hides complexity of internal Air conditioning Communication line (including very unique physical layer) and instead provides standard ModBus RTU interface over RS485 communication network

 

Features

bullet

Easy to integrate with BMS and other industrial control applications
CoolGate M is very simple and straightforward. Implementation of software is very simple and straightforward since ModBus is a well known open communication protocol .

ModBus RTU Interface
CoolGate M impose unified interface for each VRV/VRF manufacturer. It means for example that industrial control application working on Daikin VRV system with CoolGate M will work exactly the same way on Mitsubishi Electric VRF, Sanyo VRF, Toshiba VRF and other systems. No special interface adaptation will be required to migrate from one system to another.
