BACnet supports <strong>transmission via Ethernet or via RS 485<\/strong>, allowing flexible use of BACnet at both <strong>IP level<\/strong> and <strong>serial level<\/strong>. Significantly larger data volumes can be exchanged when data is transmitted via Ethernet. Furthermore, the classic networking options from the IT world offer great flexibility for linking <strong>devices<\/strong> with each other <strong>via BACnet IP<\/strong>. It does not matter whether the devices are located within a building or whether they are networked across building boundaries. Traditionally, IP networks are set up in a star configuration and can be <strong>flexibly<\/strong> interconnected and expanded <strong>using routers<\/strong>. In addition, only <strong>networking via Ethernet<\/strong> offers the option of <a href=\"https:\/\/deos-ag.com\/en\/blog\/bacnet-sc-simply-explained\/\">encryption using BACnet\/SC<\/a>.       <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;_initial&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||50px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Serial communication via BACnet<\/h3>\n<p>At serial level, BACnet uses the <strong>token-passing method<\/strong> as a special feature for managing the communication participants. This is where BACnet differs greatly from other serial protocols in building automation. All network participants are able to <strong>actively communicate information into the network<\/strong>. Permission for active communication is granted by transferring a token to the device. All other devices in the network can then only &#8220;listen&#8221; to the device with the token. This type of communication management in a serial network has significant advantages. The <strong>data load on the transmission path is minimized<\/strong> and optimally utilized, as each device in the network is able to actively and independently communicate messages and information into the network. Unnecessary communication overhead caused by cyclical &#8220;polling&#8221; of all network participants for new information is thus avoided. Furthermore, important <strong>value changes or fault messages<\/strong> are <strong>immediately visible in the network<\/strong>, as the network participants can actively communicate important and urgent messages to the network as soon as they occur. In this way, important <strong>information<\/strong> is <strong>also transmitted and visible on the serial transmission path almost in real time<\/strong>.         <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Server and client communication<\/h3>\n<p>The BACnet standard makes a fundamental distinction between <strong>server and client communication<\/strong>.

When networking using the BACnet data transfer protocol, the automation stations are often configured as a BACnet client and as a BACnet server. In this way, an automation station can optimally perform the role of the central, networking element. It integrates information from sub-networks at field device level via the client function and passes this data on to higher-level networks at management level after internal processing.    <\/p>\n<p>Communication via IP (BACnet IP) is chosen for <strong>communication between automation stations and to the management level<\/strong>, as it enables a significantly <strong>higher data transmission speed and more flexible network topologies<\/strong> compared to serial communication paths.<br \/>The integration of information from sub-networks often takes place via serial communication paths. BACnet MS\/TP is often used for this purpose. The cabling then takes place via a 2-wire bus that can be laid quickly. This is a <strong>cost-effective solution<\/strong> that is particularly suitable for networking large numbers of field devices.   <\/p>\n<p>In a building in which the BACnet communication protocol is used throughout, structured data is available for all devices installed in the technical building equipment. This is an indispensable basis for analyzing the operating efficiency of a building. <\/p>\n<p>The use of the BACnet protocol is therefore a key element in achieving the <strong>German government&#8217;s legal requirements for reducing CO2 emissions from existing buildings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;bacnet-advantages&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FCFCFC&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;100px||100px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;85px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;45px||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_row module_class=&#8221;deos-row-default&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||30px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||30px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Advantages of BACnet<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Standardized data exchange<\/strong> for high interoperability in building automation<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standardized communication<\/strong> at management, automation and field level<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cross-trade integration of devices<\/strong> from different building control systems, for example ventilation systems, heating systems, elevator monitoring, access control, energy supply<\/li>\n<li>technology and manufacturer-independent<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supports various communication transmission paths<\/strong>, such as BACnet\/IP or MS\/TP<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tested<\/strong> by independent test laboratories<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manufacturer-independent high quality<\/strong> thanks to certifiable device profiles<\/li>\n<li>Regular expansion and maintenance of standards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#F2F2F2&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;100px||100px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;85px||220px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;70px||240px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; module_id=&#8221;frequently-asked-questions&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||40px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||30px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<p>You have questions, we have answers.
