Building Automation and Control Networks

A network protocol for building automation and control networks. By connecting to Building Automation and Control Networks (BACnet) with the MS/TP protocol, for the first time, universal communication is possible between field devices and control technology with a freely usable standard.

BACnet was designed to allow communication of building automation and control systems for applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control (HVAC), lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems and their associated equipment. The BACnet protocol provides mechanisms for computerized building automation devices to exchange information, regardless of the particular building service they perform.
