When using BACnet,
it's important to understand that BACnet is a data communication protocol primarily used in building automation and the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) industry. The most common serial version is called BACnet MS/TP, while the dominant Ethernet version is BACnet/IP. Modbus remains a popular protocol frequently used in mechanical equipment such as boiler controls, variable frequency drives, and metering applications.
