The BACnet/IP driver provides an interface to connect, monitor, and control building automation devices—providing real-time data to a myriad of software applications, from building and energy management systems to enterprise IT networks. It provides connectivity to equipment using the BACnet protocol over IP (often referred to as BACnet/IP or BACnet Annex J). Devices on other BACnet network types may be accessed using BACnet gateway devices.

The official BACnet specification "ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2001 BACnet A Data Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks" describes all aspects of the BACnet protocol. When using Kepware's BACnet/IP device driver, it is recommended that users be familiar with the standard BACnet objects and properties discussed in Clause 12 and the BACnet/IP particulars outlined in Annex J. The specification is available along with many other useful resources through the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) or the official BACnet website at www.bacnet.org.
The Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) is available in the BACnet/IP product manual.
