Weidmüller & MBS:
Rethinking Building Automation
The Path to Software-Defined Building Automation
The MBS V-Gateway virtualizes proven communication solutions.
Hardware and software are "decoupled" from one another.
This opens up new possibilities for scalability, cloud connectivity, and modern automation architectures.
The Challenge
Traditional gateways require hardware, rack space, and maintenance. At the same time, demands for flexibility, cloud connectivity, and centralized management are growing.
In collaborationwith Weidmüller, MBS integrates its virtual V-Gateway directly into modern controller platforms. Communication protocols such as BACnet can be integrated into existing architectures without the need for additional hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a virtual gateway?
A virtual gateway provides communication functions via software and requires “no separate hardware.”
What are the benefits of gateway virtualization?
Virtualization reduces hardware costs, simplifies maintenance, and increases the flexibility of modern building automation systems.
What applications is a V-Gateway suitable for?
Virtual gateways are particularly well-suited for data centers, OEM solutions, cloud platforms, and modern edge architectures.
Can a virtual gateway support BACnet?
Yes. The MBS V-Gateway supports BACnet and other communication protocols in virtual environments.
What are the benefits for OEM manufacturers?
OEMs can integrate communication features directly into their platforms and develop custom user interfaces.
