BACnet (Building Automation and Control Network) is a communication protocol specifically designed for building automation and control systems. It was established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) in 1995 and later adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 16484-5). BACnet enables interoperability between devices from different manufacturers, particularly those in Building Management Systems (BMS), such as HVAC, lighting, security, fire alarms, and more. It supports multiple transmission media, including IP networks, RS-485, ARCNET, and MS/TP (Master-Slave/Token Passing), making it adaptable to diverse installation environments. Its ability to integrate and manage multiple devices has made it one of the most widely used communication protocols in modern smart buildings.
The BNET-2310M is a multifunction BACnet/IP IO module with 4 AI channels, 2 AO channels, 4 DI channels, and 4 DO channels. It supports multiple BACnet objects(Device, AI, AO, BI, BO), and various BIBBS (such as DS-RP-B, DS-RPM-B, DS-WP-B, DS-WPM, DS-COV-B). A built-in web server allows users to configure the module easily and securely via a web interface.
