EXPANDING IOT CAPABILITIES THROUGH PEOPLE AND TECHNOLOGY
Your one-stop shop for the open IoT. Backed by a dedicated team of experts, customers and sellers seamlessly connect to expand their capabilities without all the complexity.
Export all of your Niagara points to BACnet using a simple yet powerfully GUI. Select which Niagara point types should be exported as which BACnet type and define the priorities to be exported and you are done. Apart from that it also helps you with exporting of your C-Bus data to BACnet and handles data conversion for you.
With the "OAS BACnet Utilities", OAS has developed an efficient way to migrate existing systems in which Honeywell controllers with C-Bus communication are installed. Whereas it was previously necessary to replace all existing automation components in order to upgrade the BMS, the "OAS BACnet Utilities" now enable migration via BACnet. This means that the C-BUS systems can continue to be used. Based on the Niagara Framework®, OAS offers flexible solutions for the progressive digitalization of building technology in refurbishment projects.
The digitization of building technology
Whereas it was previously necessary to replace all existing automation components in order to upgrade the higher-level control technology, for example, the "OAS BACnet Utilities" now enable migration via BACnet. This means that the C-BUS systems can continue to be used. Based on the Niagara Framework®, OAS offers flexible solutions for the progressive digitalization of building technology in refurbishment projects.
If the existing facility technology is refurbished, this is often accompanied by new requirements for the building automation. The operators are then faced with the decision of either modernizing the entire automation along with the facility technology or adapting, expanding and continuing to use the installed automation components. With the "OAS BACnet Utilities", the control technology can be adapted in many cases in such a way that a new, homogeneous communication level is used.

Our Open Automation Solution
To ensure that our customer's long-term investments remain economical and state of the art, one of the services we offer is our OAS BACnet Utilities.
Facilities are often expanded or adapted to a different purpose during their service life, which requires the expansion or adaptation of the installed control systems. And this is done, if possible, with modern solutions, such as BACnet® controllers.
The customer may want additional functionality that was not available at the time the system was installed, such as graphical user interfaces and web access to the system. For economic reasons, it should be possible to adapt such functions without having to completely replace the existing control system.
The more flexibly a building automation manufacturer supports existing installations and existing systems, the better the customer's investment is protected.

Question: Can this module only be used in conjunction with C-Bus?
Answer:
No, you can also use this module if you just want to simplify the mass export of BACnet points.
Question: Is this module also handling the conversion of otherwise...
Answer:
...incompatible data types between C-Bus and BACnet?
Yes, this module provides auto conversion for enumerated C-Bus points to multi state BACnet points and vice versa. It also allows you to export C-Bus Parameter points over BACnet.
Question: Does it also provides any other protocol enhancements?
Answer:
(Does this module also provide any other protocol enhancements apart from C-Bus?)
No, as of now it only supports C-Bus. However, if you have any other protocol in mind which should be included, feel free to contact us.
