BACnet is the worldwide standardized communication protocol for building automation and its control networks (“Data Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks”). It is an open standard, independent of specific technologies and manufacturers, which allow data to be exchanged between all building automation devices. This enables the use of products from different suppliers without having to worry about their compatibility. It is used for field devices such as sensors, drives and controllers as well as embedded systems, PC-based management systems for Linux or Windows, cloud-based applications and services.<\/em><\/p>\n

The new modulo680-AS<\/a>, a SAUTER modulo 6 automation station, has recently been BTL-certified in accordance with the current BACnet Standard<\/a> Revision 1.16.<\/p>\n

New features due to revision 1.16<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Increased compatibility with third-party devices<\/li>\n
  2. Increased precision of the feedback signals<\/li>\n
  3. Simple and standardised activation\/deactivation of alarms<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition to new functions resulting from the revision, the test plan extends the requirements for existing features and increases their security.<\/p>\n

    The new Fault algorithm introduced with Revision 16 is intended to identify malfunction. For example, a shortcut or a broken wire in a sensor would result in extreme values in an Analog Input, which would not be representative of the real environmental measurement. This algorithm replaces the previously available proprietary implementation, as well as the proprietary properties.<\/p>\n

    BIBB addition<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A BIBB is a BACnet Interoperability Building Block which defines a set of services and telegrams which enables the devices to interact through a request-response communication.<\/p>\n
