  • Basic working knowledge of the Modbus RTU protocol.
  • Basic understanding of binary systems and computer memory

Description

BACnet stands for "Building Automation and Control Network". 

With the issue of energy conservation on the rapid rise around the world, thousands of buildings have monitoring systems in place to measure and maximize energy efficiency. This is done by the effective centralized monitoring and control of systems like Lighting, Security, Air-Conditioning, Heating, and so much more. 

The BACnet protocol is used heavily to interconnect that type of equipment in buildings so that energy efficiency goals can be achieved. Thousands of buildings in the US, Europe and around the world use BACnet. 

You should get to know this protocol as it will allow you to expand your expertise and opportunities in the field of Building Automation.

There is quite a bit of info on BACnet available on the Internet, but not much showing BACnet communications in a very practical way. And that's what I am going to do in the course. 

At the end of my course, you are not only going to understand the BACnet theory but I am going to show you how to use BACnet hardware and software in my usual practical approach. 

Who this course is for:

  • Electrical Engineers
  • Electrical Technicians
  • Electrical Tech or Engineering Students
  • Process Control Technicians and Engineers
  • Process Automation Engineers
  • Programmers working in the Process Automation field

Amazing information. I really liked the way of delivering the knowledge to the student, very easy and intuitive. Also the course covers both parts; theoretical and practical. So, I really recommend this course for anyone looking for an easy way to understand and use BACnet protocol.

          I have been working in the fields of Software Development, Software Systems Integration and Process Automation since 1996. In 2003, I stepped out on my own and started working for myself providing software development and systems integration services to small and medium businesses. 

          I am also associated with a great company called Mora Systems Limited that under the leadership of it's Managing Director has produced innovative and outstanding products and services in the fields of GIS and Cellular based SCADA. 

          Teaching has always been a passion for me. I have taught at the tertiary level for many years on the subjects of programming, control systems as well as systems integration. In the last few years I found myself incorporating more and more videos into the curriculum with amazing results. 

          When I heard of uDemy I just could not help but sign up. With teaching in a classroom, you can reach only so many students, but with uDemy you can reach the world! I plan to publish and promote as many courses as I possibly can on the uDemy platform.
