Building Operation supports the major communication protocols in building automation and security management.

BACnet Overview

Building Operation is a native BACnet system with features that enable you to create and manage an interoperable BACnet building automation system according to the ASHRAE Standard. Building Operation features and components support the BACnet services in all five of the BACnet interoperability areas.

For more information, see BACnet Overview .

b3 BACnet Device Overview

b3 BACnet devices are a family of intelligent, programmable, stand-alone devices that provide Direct Digital Control of air handlers and systems as well as individual terminal units: VAV boxes, fan powered induction units, unit ventilators, and heat pumps.

For more information, see b3 BACnet Device Controllers .

LonWorks Overview

LonWorks is a fieldbus standard that is used for the automation of various functions within buildings, such as lighting and HVAC. The platform is built on an open, scalable protocol, called LonTalk that was developed by Echelon Corporation and supported by LonMark International.

For more information, see LonWorks Overview .

MNB BACnet Device Overview

MNB BACnet devices are a family of programmable, stand-alone devices that provide direct digital control in a building's environmental control system. MNB BACnet devices comprise MNB-70, MNB-300, MNB-V1, MNB-V2 and MNB-1000 devices. MNB devices support S-Link sensors, which are designed specifically for use with these devices.

For more information, see MNB BACnet Device Overview .

MNL LonWorks Device Overview

MNL LonWorks devices are a family of programmable, stand-alone devices that provide direct digital control in a building's environmental control system. MNL LonWorks devices consist of standard MNL LonWorks devices and MNL-800 LonWorks devices. MNL devices are complemented by S-Link sensors, which are designed specifically for use with these devices.

For more information, see MNL LonWorks Device Overview .

Xenta LonWorks Device Overview

The Xenta 280/300/401 LonWorks devices are a family of programmable, stand-alone devices that provide Direct Digital Control of air handlers and systems as well as individual terminal units.

For more information, see Xenta LonWorks Device Overview .

Modbus Overview

Modbus is a master/slave protocol used for communicating with industrial hardware. The protocol works by one master device requesting data from (or writing data to) one or more slave devices.

For more information, see Modbus Overview .

I/NET Overview

I/NET is an integrated building management system that uses software and a mix of hardware to provide environmental control, access control, and energy management solutions. I/NET uses a proprietary, token-passing communication protocol, operating in a tiered LAN architecture.

For more information, see I/NET Overview .

MicroNet Overview

MicroNet provides control of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) devices such as fan coil units, heat pumps, rooftop units, boilers, and air handling units

For more information, see MicroNet Overview .

NETWORK 8000 Overview

The NETWORK 8000 system is a modular and integrated facility management system.

For more information, see NETWORK 8000 Overview .

I/O Modules Overview

All modules connect to a hardware terminal base backplane. When the I/O module is installed on that terminal base, Building Operation associates the I/O module with the position of the terminal base. There are a maximum of 32 positions per I/O bus that any terminal base can occupy.

For more information, see I/O Modules Overview .

Web Service Overview

Web Services are programmable applications accessible from standard Internet protocols. You can use Web Services to consume information, such as temperature from a weather service.

For more information, see Web Services Overview .

Sigma Overview

Sigma is a building management system that comprises controller device and communications components which can be applied to a variety of environmental and building control services. The system components are seamlessly linked by a suite of user interface and control software called Satchwell Sigma.

For more information, see Sigma Overview .
