Building Controls Network Architecture

Controls communication architecture involving building controllers and related systems, including BACnet/IP where that was the installed language.

Challenge

Controllers were specified; the network that made them one system was not.

Scope

Network topology, integration boundaries, BAS server/workstation, field controllers and third-party interfaces.

Technical approach

Draw the controls network as a network: topology, addressing, supervision, boundaries.

Systems / tools

Field controllers, BAS server/workstation, controls LAN, third-party interfaces.

Deliverables

Documented controls-network architecture.
