1 Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
BL103 BACnet gateway is an economical IoT gateway for building automation and HVAC
control systems that converts protocols such as Modbus RTU , Modbus TCP, DL/T645,
BACnet IP, BACnet MS/TP to Modbus TCP, OPC UA, MQTT, BACnet IP, Huawei Cloud,
Amazon Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, ThingsBoard, King Pigeon Cloud and other protocols.
BL103 Downlink Support: Modbus RTU Master, Modbus TCP Master, DL/T645, BACnet IP,
BACnet MS/TP, and other protocols.
BL103 Uplink Support: Modbus TCP, MQTT, OPC UA, BACnet IP, Huawei Cloud, AWS
Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, ThingsBoard, Sparkplug B, King Pigeon Cloud and other protocols.
BL103 uses an embedded ARM MCU, and it is built on a stable Linux OS system. It has one
RS485 (optional RS232) serial port input, two power inputs, one power output, two Ethernet
ports (WAN and LAN), and two USB ports, support SIM and SD cards. Internet access via
4G network or Ethernet, with high speed and low latency.
BL103 has a powerful protocol conversion function that allows it to acquire multiple
protocols at the same time, including BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Modbus RTU, Modbus
TCP, and DL/T645. Uplink support BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP, MQTT, OPC UA protocols.
Cloud drivers such as Huawei Cloud, Ali Cloud, King Pigeon Cloud, Amazon Cloud,
Thingsboard Cloud, Sparkplug B, and others can connect directly to popular cloud platforms.
Multiple platforms and master computer systems can be online at the same time.
BL103 supports TSL\SSL encryption for data security.

Industrial IoT Gateway BL101 BL103
BL103 supports remote gateway management or configuration through OpenVPN channel.
BL103 supports routing function as well as cascade switch data acquisition to acquire data
from more industrial equipment, with fully functional software covering most application
scenarios. Users only need to go through a simple setup to use the user-friendly configuration
interface adhered to by BLIIoT, such remote configuration, remote firmware upgrade, etc.
BL103 features a fastening structure, a redundant power supply, and standard DIN35 rail
mounting.
