OBEM now supports the latest OpenBlue Bridge hardware gateway (OBB v3) for BACnet IP installations only. This version is backward compatible and has feature parity with OBB v2. Support for OPC UA, Modbus, and other protocols with OBEM is anticipated in upcoming OBEM releases during the second half of FY24.
OpenBlue Bridge v3 is the next-generation edge solution. It includes multiple new features such as over the air software updates, reduces customer onboarding time, and provides zero-trust bi-directional connectivity between edge and cloud. OBB v3 will be natively embedded in the ICG-200 gateway and made available as a hardware gateway solution. All OBB v3 documentation is available on the Johnson Controls document portal.
