Efficient, Cost-Effective Cimetrics Utility Meter Integration for Smart Buildings
The Cimetrics B6070 gateway is the easiest, most affordable way to connect up to 4 pulse or dry contact utility meters- for gas, water, or electricity- directly to BACnet/IP. Unlike traditional solutions that are expensive, complex, or unreliable, the B6070 is designed to simplify integration while ensuring data accuracy and reliability across your Building Automation System (BAS).
Why Choose the B6070?
Common Challenges with Other Methods
SCADA PLC with 4 pulse channels
- Expensive (often around $2000 per installation).
- Not scalable across multiple buildings.
Using HVAC I/O points
- No non-volatile memory.
- Power loss means losing all meter counts.
Key Features
The Cimetrics pulse gateway (B6070), is designed for seamless integration and reliable performance in building automation systems. It connects up to four gas, water, or electrical meters (Pulse, Dry Contact, KYZ) and provides a built-in web server for easy browser-based setup. With non-volatile memory, pulse counts are preserved even during power outages, while electrical isolation and input protection ensure durability. Data and power indicators allow quick system checks at a glance. Its compact DIN-rail design (5.0 x 5.9 x 1.2 inches) saves panel space, and the wide input voltage range (100–240 VAC @ 7W) combined with an operating temperature of 7–40°C makes it ideal for building environments.
