Integrating into a network? Select the Veris U0 Series for easy translation of protocols.

Network integration has never been more simplified with Veris Industries products.  Veris produces Serial-to-Ethernet protocol converters for a number of applications including energy management, building automation and data center management systems.  The U0 Series, U013-0012 Modbus Gateway or either the U013-0013 and U013-0015 BACnet Routers provides access to all Veris RTU and BACnet MS/TP products respectively, over a network via their protocol.

The U013-0012 uses Modbus TCP, while the U013-0013 and U013-0015 utilizes BACnet IP.  Offering a faster operation speed of the two BACnet options, the U013-0015 (or LX model) handles more BACnet Broadcast Management Devices, or BBMDs.

These 3 products execute a simple, quick network configuration and setup serial communication parameters by way of integral web browsers. They also enable translation of serial protocols to their respective network protocol, without any device-specific translation required.

The U0 devices are easy to set up, requiring no product-specific configuration and are DIN rail mount for simple installation.  And connection of multiple devices on one network drop is an added bonus.

Refer to this datasheet for more details specifications on downstream (device) interfaces, upstream (controller) ethernet interfaces, input power requirements and temperature/RH conditions for optimal operation. 

The U013-0013 and 0015 both come with a 2 year limited warranty and the U013-0012 is offered with a  5 year warranty from Veris Industries.

Also, as part of this family are the U013-0010 and -0011 input/output modules.  The -0010 supports 23 independent pulse count inputs, while the -0011 is an analog/pulse/resistance for 8 selectable inputs. Refer to their datasheet for more functionality and features.  Please note: power supplies are not included with either.  Both the Veris U013-0010 and U013-0011 come with their limited 2 year warranty. 

Veris offers 2 versions of this I/O module
