Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The open communication protocols employed in Building Automation System (BAS) of intelligent building currently are BACnet and LonWorks. After comparing the structure and characteristic of these protocols in detail, this paper points out that the relationship between BACnet and LonWorks is complementary but not competitive, of which LonTalks is suitable for control networks and BACnet is good at information management.
