What's new in the BACnet standard?
The 2016 version of the BACnet standard has been published. Here are some highlights.
Analytics for Building Performance with Analytika service
The increase in networking of building systems in the last decades has made large quantities of data available to building operators and facility managers. It has also confronted them with a new challenge: how to use the data to improve their building's performance.
Data Analytics and IoT data
The IoT, as it becomes more widely deployed, will be producing immense quantities of data about everyday objects and devices; its sheer volume is one of the most challending problems in realizing the potential of IoT.
Complete vertical solutions to real analytics problems
As the concepts underlying the Internet of Things evolve, it becomes more clear that the term “IoT” can mean different things to different players. To a large extent this results from the background that they bring to the IoT marketplace.

Signature Detection and Matching
Suddenly dawned that a common theme in all of our products and services and research has been signature detection... whether it is very straightforward in Analytika, or a means for discovery in BACnet or Sunspec, or more nebulous in such detection for identification in Modbus (and other) mapping layouts.
PLC. Reliability.
For PLC, programmable logic controllers, reliability is everything. This means hardened and rugged physicals foremost, and a good ecosystem of support.
Options to Make Devices More Intelligent
One often comes to places where one looks at options to make devices more intelligent. Owners and Manufacturers of devices often get involved in mandates to make their devices more intelligent.
Intelligent, Small and Simple BAS BACnet Routers at Large Sites
Recent Cimetrics projects at very large sites (airports and universities in Asia) with many BACnet MSTP networks routed by our B6000 BACnet Router have sharpened our sense of the way one should go about approaching such situations.
Cimetrics IoT to Modbus Interfaces is on IoT market
Imagine that you can bring your Modbus devices/meters into an IoT Ecosystem. Imagine you can build and run the applications of smart, connected Modbus devices/meters.

Make a Modbus Device be BACnet.
Suppose you want to make a mature Modbus device to be BACnet. The device has a clear and static Modbus register map and uses standard Modbus throughout.
BACnet and IoT
How are BAcnet, Internet of Things, and their requirements, features and users, related?
What's going on with Internet of Things
Al Putnam recently attended the IoT events and shared the thoughts what's going on in this field.
Open services for collecting data
When it comes to collecting data not all systems are created equal. Systems with open services make it far easier to extract and transmit their data.

What can we learn from the Target data breach?
The Target data breach is far from unique, but the amount of attention and expert analysis it has received should provide an excellent learning opportunity for the building automation community.
Number of devices on a BACnet MSTP chain
What is a reasonable device number on a BACnet MSTP chain?
Using the BAS-o-matic network protocol analyzer
If you manage any type of network, create network-oriented software, perform security audit, monitor network usage, you definitely need a good quality network analyzer
