description Siemens Desigo CC Gateway Overview
This gateway hardware is crucial for integrating disparate, non-smart, or older HVAC equipment into a modern, unified BMS network. It acts as a translator, taking signals from various low-level controllers (like analog inputs or older digital relays) and converting them into standardized, IP-addressable protocols like BACnet/IP. It is the unsung hero for any facility undergoing a phased modernization project.
