BACnet
®
Protocol
The Building Automation and Control Network (BACnet) protocol is ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135.
This standard allows building automation systems or components from different manufacturers
to share information and control functions. BACnet provides building owners the capability to
connect various types of building control systems or subsystems together for many uses.
Multiple vendors can use this protocol to share information for monitoring and supervisory
control between systems and devices in a multi-vendor interconnected system. The BACnet
protocol defines standard objects (data points) called BACnet objects. Each object has a defined
list of properties that provide context information about that object. In addition, BACnet defines a
number of application services that are used to interact with objects in a BACnet device.
BACnet Testing Laboratory (BTL) Certification
The BCI-R supports the BACnet communication protocol and has been designed to meet the
requirements of the application-specific control profile. For more details, refer to the BTL web
