MSA Safety FieldServer ProtoNode Gateway

MSA Safety’s FieldServer ProtoNode Gateway industrial connectivity solution is now available in the Asia–Pacific region. The gateway provides remote monitoring capabilities via cloud communications to various fixed detection monitoring systems, including all MSA Safety Modbus and BACNet protocol Fixed Gas and Flame Detectors in the field, as well as devices from other manufacturers.

The gateways are designed to be versatile, cybersecure, easy-to-configure devices that serve as entry points to the cloud for data communication and processing between internet-connected products and network protocols. Available connectivity options for the FieldServer ProtoNode Gateway are Modbus RTU (serial) and Modbus TCP (Ethernet) protocols, and BACNet IP protocols.

The system’s connectivity enables remote monitoring and control; cloud-based alarm notifications via email for faults or alarms; and data visualisation through MSA Grid dashboards. It also facilitates compliance insights and management, helping to streamline inspections via calibration audits and functional verifications.
