BACnet has been specially designed to implement the requirements of building automation, ensuring trouble-free interoperability of the installation from different manufacturers.
It helps to design energy-efficient applications and continuously monitor and manage all the automation processes from a central location.
Products compatible with BACnet, typically include operation and management equipment with intelligent sensors and actuators.
It is a high-performance communication system but with its limitations, where the up-to-date automation, requires a combination with a further communication system.
In large functional spaces, KNX can also cover the room automation within building automation, making it decentral in contrast to BACnet. It does not have a single automation installation for the complete intelligence but it is spread over individual system components. Each system component covers a set of functions, thus taken together, these systems fulfill the required demands and functionalities.
One of the essential components is the data mapping between KNX and BACnet, enabling the systems to be optimally combined with each other.
