The MS stands for Master – Slave although in practice there are not many slaves out there.The TP stands for Token Passing.This flavor of BAcnet is most commonly used to connect field devices to…
All cables offer impedance (resistance). Some cables are designed so that the impedance is relatively independent of distance. You want one of these cables. A clue to knowing if you selected one is to…
Multi-state objects are very important in operational state description of a
BACnet device. There are three types of Multi-state objects described in the
