2. Operation Guide
CSGW can convert Modbus RTU or proprietary protocols to BACnet. CSGW Tool is usually used for
the purpose of Modbus RTU to BACnet.
To generate a configuration file using CSGW Tool, you can either
 Import from a CSV format points list file, or
 Manually add mappings via the GUI
It is recommended to use the former way, i.e., importing from points list file.

2.1 Import from a CSV format points list file

2.1.1 Before editing a points list file, some parameters need to be determined, such as device
addresses, communication parameters, BACnet settings, etc.
2.1.2 Find out the CSGW model (CSGW-1 ~ CSGW-4) on the main page of CSGW.
