Will promote application of European building automation and safety engineering standard

The OPC Foundation, Belimo, ICONAG and WSW Solutions have announced that they will present BACnet at the ISH 2013, to be held from March 12 to 16 in Frankfurt.

Newly inducted into the BACnet Interest Group Europe (BIG EU), they will reportedly present the progress of the BACnet protocol in a joint exhibition booth at A61 in Hall 10,3. The BIG EU promotes the application of the worldwide BACnet communication protocol ISO 16484-5 in European building automation and safety engineering, the announcement explained.

Claiming that the stand motto, “BACnet – the Global Standard” demonstrated its international prevalence, the announcement highlighted that the standard was open to all solutions between building management and fieldbus devices. With certified products in the foreground showing interoperability between devices of different manufacturers, there would be lectures at the booth giving information about BACnet and a mapping between BACnet and OPC UA, being a special feature.
