BACnet
Engineered for building-services automation with a standardised, object-oriented model exposing Analog Inputs, Schedules, Binary Outputs and loop-control values natively.
Type
Building Automation Protocol
Typical Latency
20ms–150ms.
Hardware Requirements
MS/TP over RS485 (9600–76800 bps) or BACnet/IP over standard networks, UDP port 47808.
Security
BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) adds TLS 1.3 encapsulation, certificate validation and secure WebSocket transport.
Typical Use Case
Chiller-plant coordination, centralised HVAC/ventilation, VAV controllers, fire-alarm tracking arrays.
