BACnet is a communication protocol for building automation and control (BAC) networks that use the ASHRAE, ANSI, and ISO 16484-5 standards [1] protocol.. BACnet was designed to allow communication of building automation and control systems for applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control (), lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems and their ...
UPB - 2-way Peer to Peer Protocol; VSCP - Very Simple Control Protocol is a free protocol with main focus on building- or home-automation; xAP – Open protocol; X10 – Open standard for communication among electronic devices used for home automation (domotics) Z-Wave - Wireless RF Protocol; Zigbee – Open protocol for Mesh Networks
When direct digital controllers are networked together they can share information through a data bus. The control system may speak 'proprietary' or 'open protocol' language to communicate on the data bus. Examples of open protocol language are Building Automation Control Network (BACnet), LonWorks (Echelon), Modbus TCP and KNX.
The OPC specification was based on the OLE, COM, and DCOM technologies developed by Microsoft Corporation for the Microsoft Windows operating system family. The specification defined a standard set of objects, interfaces e.g. IDL and methods for use in process control and manufacturing automation applications to facilitate interoperability.
For Dummies is an extensive series of instructional reference books which are intended to present non-intimidating guides for readers new to the various topics covered. The series has been a worldwide success with editions in numerous languages.
The data link layer FDL (Field bus Data Link) services [15] and protocols [16] work with a hybrid access method that combines token passing with a master/slave method. In a PROFIBUS DP network, the controllers or process control systems are the masters and the sensors and actuators are the slaves.
Profinet implements the interfacing to peripherals. [1] [2] It defines the communication with field connected peripheral devices.Its basis is a cascading real-time concept. Profinet defines the entire data exchange between controllers (called "IO-Controllers") and the devices (called "IO-Devices"), as well as parameter setting and diagnosi
Actuator Sensor Interface (AS-Interface or ASi) is an industrial networking solution (Physical Layer, Data access Method and Protocol) used in PLC, DCS and PC-based automation systems. It is designed for connecting simple field I/O devices (e.g. binary ON/OFF devices such as actuators, sensors, rotary encoders, analog inputs and outputs, push ...
