SBA 451: BACnet Integrations

In this episode we tackle the topic of BACnet integrations. We start off by exploring the BACnet MS/TP and IP protocols.
Next we move into BACnet objects and finally we look at BACnet devices and BTL listings.
If you've been wondering how to integrate BACnet devices this is the episode for you.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

I know you have a background in JCI, how does JCI get away with away with having multiple devices with a Device ID of 1 (same MS/TP Trunk)? It seems there is no issue on the NCE/NAE but as soon as we put a JACE on the network, we cannot discover the controller. It seems like JCI doesn't play by the BACnet rules

[@SmartBuildingsAcademy]

So it all depends on how the device is mapped in. Are you taking over a MS/TP trunk or are you mapping everything thru IP so you're discovering the NAE and it's field devices.

Can you cover BACnet over ARCNET integration? I feel like this is a huge integration gray area in the field

[@SmartBuildingsAcademy]

Sure thing we can discuss this on a future episode.
