Universal Communication Gateway for Advanced System Integration

Bridges Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, BACnet/IP, CAN and Ethernet within a single platform.

M2M2 is an industrial communication gateway that enables reliable and stable communication between Danfoss System Managers and third-party equipment. The platform is designed to handle multiple protocols and interfaces within a single device and can be configured with different software variants for specific integration requirements.

By combining RS-485, CAN, Ethernet and WiFi in a single hardware platform, M2M2 provides a flexible gateway between field devices and supervisory systems.

The Challenge

Modern refrigeration, HVAC and energy systems often use different communication protocols.
This can result in:

  • Complex system design
  • Lengthy commissioning
  • Custom integration solutions
  • Limited scalability
  • Increased risk of communication issues

Many projects require multiple gateways or custom-developed logic to enable communication between systems.

The Solution

M2M2 acts as a protocol converter and integration platform.

Different software variants configure the unit to:

  • Normalize data
  • Emulate compatible devices
  • Integrate third-party equipment into the Danfoss ecosystem
  • Establish reliable communication between different networks

The result is a standardized, scalable and future-ready integration solution.

Software

  • M2M2-10
    Gateway for Danfoss AK2 Controllers

    M2M2-10 is a gateway that extends Danfoss AK2 controllers with Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU and BACnet/IP communication, enabling them to connect to BMS or SCADA systems.

  • M2M2-70
    Gateway for Energy Meters to Danfoss AK-SM 800/800A

    M2M2-70 is a gateway that enables energy meters from multiple manufacturers to be integrated with Danfoss AK-SM 800/800A.

    The gateway reads the energy meters via Modbus RTU and presents them to the Danfoss System Manager as a Carlo Gavazzi EM210 meter, enabling seamless integration into the Danfoss system.

Business Benefits

Fewer Devices per Project – A single communication gateway replaces multiple custom integration solutions.

Shorter Commissioning Time – The web interface and standard protocols reduce configuration time.

Lower Integration Risk – Proven industrial protocols replace customer-specific integration logic.

Scalable Architecture – New devices can be added easily without redesigning the entire system.

Lower Service Costs – Remote access and centralized management reduce the need for on-site visits.
