Description

Building control systems (BCS) can make environments more comfortable, safe, and efficient by integrating all system components. In order to do this effectively, different and disparate systems need to be able to communicate and interact mutually with each other, or become interoperable. The communicating devices have to use a common set of communication rules--a common "protocol." True interoperability is achieved by the communication of system parameters, allowing the BCS to understand and act upon information originating from multiple sources. The main point for the end-user is that the equipment has to be able to communicate and function in a seamless and transparent manner, regardless of which computer language, or protocol, is used.
