This content describes the features of the previous BACnet driver. For the most latest BACnet driver, see BACnet / IP driver - Version 3.
The BACnet driver provides communications support for devices that support the Building Automation Control network (BACnet) communications protocol. This driver supports the BACnet protocol across an IP subnetwork(s) that has been assigned a single BACnet network number. All communication to the BACnet network is done using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
