Chapter 1Overview of Siemens BACnet Products and Solutions

Chapter 1 describes a brief history of Siemens BACnet products and solutions and gives a brief overview of APOGEE BACnet solutions. This will give the reader an appreciation of the evolution of BACnet compliant products over the years and continuing commitment of Siemens to provide a full range of BACnet solutions to the marketplace.

Brief History of BACnet Implementation within APOGEE The goals of Siemens implementation of BACnet have always been:

The support of ANSI/ASHRAE standard BACnet/IP throughout field panel and workstation architecture.

Meeting BTL requirements for the field panel and the workstation. Meeting the global strategic BACnet requirements of Siemens Industry, Inc. Maintaining and enhancing the APOGEE Automation System features,

functionality, performance, look and feel.

Maintaining APOGEE Automation System backward compatibility. Maintaining the support for LonWorks Field Level Network (FLN), P1 FLN,

Integration Drivers (currently on the PXC platform), Insight options, and InfoCenter.

This has been accomplished over time starting in February 2006 with the introduction of a BACnet MEC and MBC with Field Panel Firmware 3.0, and an enhanced Insight BACnet Client and Server Option (see Product Announcement-638: BACnet Field Panel Firmware Revision 3.0 and Insight Revision 3.7 BACnet Option), along with Navigator Support (Commissioning Tool/Design Tool) and appropriate training, documentation, and rollout. PA-638 introduced the following BACnet capabilities on the APOGEE BAS:

Power Open Processor on BACnet/IP includes support for one FLN configurable for BACnet MS/TP or three FLN ports for P1.

Feb 2010 PA-747 SNMP Agent for BACnet Firmware 3.2

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. SNMP leverages the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems and plan for network growth.

The SNMP Agent is available as a licensable feature for the PXC Modular controller on Firmware Revision 3.2. The SNMP Agent reports information to the SNMP Network Management System (NMS also known as the SNMP Manager). The PXC Modular loaded with the SNMP Agent firmware and license acts as a data concentrator for SNMP messages and allows information from the APOGEE Automation System to be mapped into the PXC Modular controller and then exported using the SNMP protocol to an SNMP Manager or NMS. One PXC Modular controller acts as an SNMP Agent on behalf of a network of PXC controllers on the BACnet/IP network as well as managed BACnet MS/TP devices or P1 devices on the Field Level Network (FLN). Note that it is recommended to use one PXC Modular as an SNMP Agent device for each BACnet/IP Automation Level Network (ALN) trunk.
