Prominent Open Protocols
in the Building Automation Market
Building Automation Control
Network
Local Operating Network
Versus
Both protocols allow for dissimilar manufacturers of
products to interoperate over a common network by
data sharing, alarm and event management, trending,
scheduling and remote device network management.
Versus
Both protocols allow for the following applications:
HVAC Control
Fire detection and alarm
Security
Lighting control
Smart Elevator Control
Utility company interface
…and more
Versus
Benefits of both Protocols:
•Single operator workstation for all systems
•Competitive system expansion
•Possibility of integrating all building control functions
•Interoperability
Vs.
Who’s behind each protocol?
Echelon-The developer and distributor of
LonWorks a for profit corporation.
ASHRAE- A non profit organization that
advance the arts and sciences of
heating, ventilation, air conditioning,
refrigeration and related human factors
to serve the evolving needs of the
public and ASHRAE members.
Purpose:
The Standard is to define data communications services and protocols for
the computer equipment used for monitoring and control of HVAC&R and
other building systems and to define, in addition, an abstract, objectoriented representation of information communicated between such
equipment, thereby facilitating the application and use of digital control
technology in buildings.
• Why LonWorks?
– End device oriented systems
– Smaller networks
– Simple systems
– Expansion plans are minimal
• Why BACnet?
– Larger networks-application
driven
– Controller oriented
– Need to move large amounts of
information
– Complex systems
– Future expansion
Benefits of BACnet
• No charge for its use—anyone may
develop implementation without cost.
• Maintained by an ASHRAE committee
representing all sectors of the industry.
• Designed specifically for building control.
• Can be implemented in devices of any
size.
• Can be readily enhanced and improved.
• Not tied to present technologies.
Why Should BACnet Succeed?
•
•
•
•
User Demand
No fixed architecture
Object model is easily extended
Doesn’t depend on current
technology
• Broad participation in its
development
• Many vendors are committed to it
• Global interest

Specifying BACnet - The Simplified Process
1.
Determine why BACnet is a requirement (one
OWS, multi-vendor product interfacing or data
sharing, future expansion, etc.). The reasons will
in turn determine how detailed the specifications
need to be.
2.
Lay out a proposed architecture and determine at
what levels in the system BACnet is desired.
3.
For each network level in the system determine
the media that will be used. If it is specified upfront, then each vendor is responsible for routing
to this media if routers become necessary.
Specifying BACnet - The Simplified Process
4.
Select BACnet interoperability functions for each
device using BIBBS:
Data Sharing
Alarms & Events
Time Schedules
Trend logs
Device & Network Management
5.
Determine who is responsible for system
integration.
