BACnApi 6.0.83

The BACnet Server API for Linux and Windows can be used to build a BACnet Server which can be accessed as a BACnet device. It can also be used as a BACnet Client for reading/writing to other BACnet devices on the network. It's purpose is to make real time information available via BACnet Services so that other BACnet devices can read/write to the BACnet Server, and it also acts as a client that can control other devices. It's most common use would be as a gateway for a Non BACnet system to allow other BACnet Devices to monitor and control the Non BACnet system. It can also be used as a global controller capable of monitoring and controlling other BACnet Devices. It supports BACnet/IP, BACnet/SC, BACnet Ethernet, BACnet MSTP, BACnet PTP and the Anex H Data Link Layers.

Real Time Data from the Non BACnet system is stored inside BACnet Objects which are accessible from other devices on the network. The information can be stored in Analog or Binary Objects in one or more internal devices. The BACnet Server has the ability to act as more than 1 device to allow points to be grouped in a logical manner. An example of this might be for a gateway to monitor 6 identical Chillers each with 500 internal points. 6 internal Devices can be created each with 500 BACnet objects. Each of the 6 devices can be given a name to represent the 6 Chillers, and the same addressing and object names can be used for the 500 BACnet objects for each Chiller. This simplifies the gateway and reduces the size of the object list which has a size of 500 per chiller rather than 3000 if all points were inside the same device.

The BACnet Server can act as a global controller to provide monitoring and control over the BACnet network. It can be used to receive alarms, read/write to other devices, send any service etc.

Applications can be built in .Net core or framework for Windows, or .Net core for Linux and the Raspberry PI. For more details visit www.scadaengine.com
