Simplicity®LINC GATEWAY
OVERVIEW
The Simplicity®LINC Gateway operates as a Modbus® Client providing an interface between a BACnet® MS/TP control system and devices that communicate using the Modbus RTU protocol. The Simplicity®LINC allows monitoring and control by a
The Simplicity®LINC is preconfigured to provide an interface to UP products equipped with Simplicity® controllers manufactured after 4/2/2008 as well as prior Simplicity®Elite™ and Simplicity® with

The Simplicity®LINC mounts inside the control panel of the UP unit and utilizes 24 VAC power from the unit’s control transformer. One port is connected to the UP controller. The other port must be connected to the BACnet MS/TP network.
The Simplicity®LINC Gateway is preconfigured to obtain operational data points from the controller and expose them on a BACnet MS/TP network.
NOTE: Not all Simplicity® operating parameters are controlled/ monitored by the Simplicity®LINC.
24 — must be grounded close to the Simplicity®LINC
24V power is polarity sensitive, incorrect wiring could result in board damage.
