The Johnson Controls® VRF Smart Gateway enables the integration of the Hitachi VRF system with the building automation system (BAS). The VRF Smart Gateway performs this function by communicating between the native H-link communications network of the Hitachi VRF system and the open building standard BACnet®/IP network. The VRF Smart Gateway intelligently provides the VRF device and point data over the BACnet/IP network in a way that the BAS can easily discover. The VRF Smart Gateway therefore requires little or no post-integration configuration within the BAS.
