BACnet
Our BACnet Device Simulator allows simulators to operate as a BACnet client through a BACnet Gateway device, enabling seamless communication with external BACnet devices using BACnet Client Software.
About BACnet
BACnet is a communication protocol for Building Automation and Control (BAC) networks that leverage the ASHRAE, ANSI, and ISO 16484-5 standard protocol. It was designed to allow communication of building automation and control systems for applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control (HVAC), lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems and their associated equipment. The BACnet protocol provides mechanisms for computerized building automation devices to exchange information, regardless of the particular building service they perform.
