BACvision^®

An affordable BACnet^™ Terminal Front-End

for BACnet control systems !

What is BACnet^™ ?

an open communications protocol used to transfer information between electronic networked controllers in buildings which controls various types of equipment in a building such as airconditioning and lighting, as well as access control and fire alarms.
the first open protocol of its kind.
designed for building automation from the ground up - no after thoughts to extend the protocol
designed to run on various mediums ranging from RS-485 on the low-level side to Fast Ethernet and 10BaseF Fiber Optic Ethernet on the backbone side.
a protocol developed by ASHRAE ( American Society for Heating, Refrigeration & Airconditioning Engineers ) over a period of 8 years in an effort to standardize electronic Building Management Systems.
non-proprietary - in the past due to lack of any standards, each vendor had his own proprietary protocol for integrating controllers into a bus system. This meant that once a facility had decided upon using a specific vendor they were stuck with that vendor because only that vendor's equipment would be able to electronically speak to the rest of the equipment installed in the building. This caused a lot of frustration. Today, when specifying BACnet^tm as the preferred protocol for an installation, facility owners are free to pick from most of the major control manufacturer's equipment since interoperation is possible through the open protocol. .
