The Big Questions
1. Can I use an Open DDC system for my new facility?
2. Can I use an Open DDC system for my new addition?
3. Can I upgrade my existing DDC system to Open?
4. Can I utilize open DCC system for commissioning?

1990’s ASC’s Proprietary
Web Services are self-
2000’s Networking Open & contained, modular
Proprietary applications that can be run
2010’s Web Services Open over the Internet and can be

A BACnet Solution Model
Native BACnet
SOAP: Simple object
Access protocol. A Native BACnet
protocol that provides a
standardized XML
envelop for carrying
application specific
XML payloads.
BACnet
o BACnet Web-Services supersedes BACnet/IP
o BACnet/IP: Or BACnet 2001. Conveys messages between
BACnet LAN via IP using a technique called Tunneling. It
supersedes BACnet 95.
o PICS: Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement. The
capabilities of any particular device that should accompany
that device.
o BIBBs: BACnet Interoperability Building Blocks. Each BIBB
states what BACnet feature must be implemented for client or
server to achieve communication. B-ASC and B-AAC are
standard BIBB replacements.

What is oBIX
BACnet/IP: Or BACnet 2005. Conveys
messages between BACnet LAN via IP using
a technique called Tunneling. It supercedes
BACnet 95.

A LonWorks Solution Model
LonTalk
A Router is LonTalk
intelligent hardware
that filters the
passing of message
LonTalk
between two
network segments.
LonWorks…
LonWorks…
LonWorks: is a family of hardware
products developed by the Echelon
Corporation
LonTalk: is the communication
protocol for LonWorks networks.
Similar to Ethernet LonTalk is CSMA.
However, does not have CD.
LonMark: is a brand name and an
association formed in 1994 to
promote and support those
manufacturers that produce LonWorks
products
What is PLC?
PLCs are miniature industrial
computers that contain hardware
and software that is used to
perform control functions. A PLC
consists of two basic sections:
the central processing unit (CPU)
and the input/output interface
system.)
The first PLC can be traced back
to 1968 when Bedford
Associates, a company in
Bedford, MA, developed a device
called a Modular Digital Controller
for General Motors (GM).
