In building automation systems, the diversity of
existing field level networks is a major challenge for fully
integrated solutions. Typical approaches achieve integration by
shifting the needed complexity to the automation or management
layer. In contrast, this paper focuses on leaving the complexity at
the field level to provide a homogeneous view to upper layers
without compromising reliability. Therefore, a gateway device
architecture is advised which enables the seamless integration
and communication between field level protocols of building automation
networks. The necessary translation between field level
protocols is done by utilizing a stateful solution incorporating a
unifying information model. The reliability aspect is achieved by
combining several gateway devices into a redundant compound.
