About BACnet Service

Our product BAConnect is a software interface between LXI (Lan eXtensions for Instrumentation) based devices and BACnet clients. BAConnect acts as a BACnet server to your BACnet clients and as a client to your LXI devices. BAConnect lets your BACnet client software to communicate seamlessly with Data Acquisition or Data logger devices like KeySight 34972A/349720. We configure all the sensors connected to the LXI devices to read and write values to the sensors.

How BACnet Works

Partners products make use of the BACnet® communications standard. This standard, ISO 16484-5, also known as ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2012 and its subsequent addenda, represent over 28 years of effort and tens of thousands of hours of development by manufacturers, consulting engineers, building owners, facility managers, academic and government institutions.

BACnet not only works as a communications protocol, but it also defines and describes devices on the network, as well as objects and services that those devices provide. So unlike other communication protocols that focus only on how the messages move, BACnet has built-in rules and behaviors for devices that live on the network. It identifies the type of device and knows what to expect from them.

In a BACnet device, data is organized as Objects. Objects represent physical inputs, outputs and software variables. These can range from singular things, like points on a device, to more complex structures, like trend logs and schedules. Objects are further defined as a set of properties that can be monitored or commanded through a work station or other software. BACnet currently defines 60 object types as part of the standard, but you can also create custom object types.
