BACnet® typically means that BACnet® communication has been embedded directly into the device versus requiring a gateway device or software driver to translate to and from a proprietary “language” or protocol. This is a key factor when communicating with multiple vendors products is required.

Systems incorporating BACnet® devices at all levels provide facility owners and managers with superior system performance and interoperability. BACnet® allows HVAC/R, lighting, life safety, access, security, power, elevator transportation and other building system control devices to become interoperable.
