What is BMS?
A computerized based system to centrally monitor and control the building service equipment through the distributed outstations (Direct Digital Controller) directly or communication protocol to link with other computerized systems via gateways indirectly

What BMS does?

Building environmental control - comfort and safe Optimize operation of equipment, save energy and shorten the period of return of investment Centrally control and monitor equipment; capability to integrate with other systems to share the data and improve the operation & management efficiency In case of equipment failure, the system automatically alert the engineers; take appropriate actions in accordance with preset program - reduce the loss Provide maintenance schedule based on the real run time prolong the working life of equipment Provide operation data to management to improve the system and operation procedures Maintain the value of building facilities

Concerns from the viewpoint of customers

BMS vendors implement their systems by different protocols and net works, those system may not be communicate to share the data or need a dedicated gateway to achieve data sharing Outcomes : less freedom to change operation inefficiency, inconvenience longest learning period for different systems not effective from the viewpoint of cost of operation and maintenance

Goal of BACnet
Interoperation Data and control commands exchange between systems in accordance with the level of preset authorization Internetworking A set of two or more networks interconnected by Router; one message path between any two nodes Ethernet; ARCent; MS/TP; PTP

Benefit of BACnet

No restriction to your applications BACnet lays down the type of data transfer, but not the applications Implement in any level of equipment workstation; DDC; router; gateway; sensors; home automation.. Not rely on the technology Less restriction due to technology change

Network - Data highway

BACnet specify 5 types of network Ethernet (10-100Mbps) ARCNET (2.5Mbps) MS/TP subnet (master-slave / token passing); 76.8Kbps PTP (point-to-point / serial communications / modems LonTalk (exclusive LAN - does not mean that LonWorks devices can talk to BACnet devices)
