BACnet
The communication protocol BACnet
was specially developed to meet the
needs of buildings, both inside and
out. It is well suited for the automation
level as well as the management level.
It is primarily for HVAC systems as well
as fire control panels, intrusion detec-
tion and access control systems. BACnet is continuously
expanded to accommodate additional building-specific
systems such as escalators and elevators. Some 
manufacturers use BACnet in their products. The BACnet
protocol is standardized worldwide as EN ISO -,
which ensures maximum investment security. It is purely a
software implementation with processor-independent and
license-free use of IP com
munication. For BACnet/IP, the
standardized UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is used, which
supports connectionless transport of data packages. The
UDP port number  = xBAC is registered for BACnet.
