CONTROLLER PERFORMANCE
The controller performance has been tested in two test scenarios.
NOTE:
These are example scenarios. It is therefore, of course, possible for you to use any other mix of Panel Bus points and
BACnet MS/TP points as long as the maximum number of hardware I/O points (see section "Panel Bus
Considerations" on pg. 32) is observed.
