Will the system operator require retraining in order to efficiently monitor and control a BACnet equipped system?
Probably not. If an operator is familiar with a company’s front-end products, there should be little retraining when moving up to a BACnet conforming system. The communications part of a BACnet installation will be nearly transparent to the system operator. The system will display at the front-end just as it does now for any given manufacturer. Typically, monitoring and control points with corresponding values will be displayed along with some identifying nomenclature. Also, a given manufacturer’s operator terminal may communicate with other manufacturers’ control systems. This means once an operator is familiar with one front end, he can continue to use it even if controllers from other manufacturers are used. However, as various products reach the market for any given BACnet manufacturer, an operator may need more in-depth training since installation and programming requirements may differ. Of course, this would be true of any new control system. • Does BACnet provide a means for net
