The BACnet Device Driver was designed to plug-in to our industrial based communications server KEPServerEX 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. The BACnet Device driver is also included in the Building Automation Suite.
BACnet Resources:
The official BACnet specification, "ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2001 BACnet A Data Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks", describes all aspects of the BACnet protocol. It is recommended that users of this driver be familiar with the standard BACnet objects and properties discussed in Clause 12 of the specification. In addition, you should be familiar with the particulars of BACnet/IP outlined in Annex J of the specification. The specification document, as well as many other useful resources, is available through the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) or the official BACnet web site www.bacnet.org.

Drivers "Plug-in" to KEPServerEX
The BACnet OPC Server is a plug-in device driver for KEPServerEX. A "Plug-in" is a software program (.dll) that extends the capabilities of KEPServerEX to fit the communication requirements of a specific device or system. The plug-in driver handles all of the proprietary communications between the device/system and the OPC layer, KEPServerEX. The KEPServerEX core then handles all OPC and Proprietary Client communications between the plug-in driver and the Client application. For a complete list of features and capabilities please visit the KEPServerEX overview page.
