  • PLC BACnet/IP communication is via a gateway and mainly facilitates control of the Primary Chillers in the Utility Building and PLC5.

  • The Alerton HVAC control system uses BACnet/IP and RSTP internally.

  • Ignition uses BACnet/IP to communicate with the primary chillers (read-only), AHU’s 02/03//04 (read-only), Alterton HVAC system, and the nLight Lighting system.
