Building Automation (BMS) Connectivity
Overview
HVAC, lighting, access control, and energy meters across a building report to a BMS over Modbus and BACnet. A managed switch links the wired systems and a router adds a cellular uplink, giving facilities teams remote visibility and control without trenching new cable through occupied space.
Challenges
- Building systems use Modbus and BACnet, not plain IP
- Retrofitting cable through an occupied building is disruptive
- Facilities teams cannot see or adjust systems remotely
- Energy waste goes unnoticed without system-level data
Benefits
- Managed switch and router linking BMS systems
- Remote visibility and control of HVAC, lighting, access
- Cellular uplink with no new cabling
- System-level energy data to cut waste
