BACnet OPC Server

The BACnet Device Driver was designed to plug into our industrial based communications server product and is intended for use with Building Automation and Control Networks. This product supplies data access to any HMI, SCADA, Historian, or Enterprise application that supports OPC, DDE, Advanced DDE, FastDDE, or SuiteLink. It provides connectivity to equipment using the BACnet protocol over Ethernet (often referred to as ("BACnet/IP" or "Annex J"). Devices on other BACnet network types may be accessed using BACnet gateway devices.
