Newtorked Lighting Controls BMS and BAS Integrator

Integrator

The Integrator is a BACnet compliant device and provides the required protocol to communicate with the BACnet workstation. The Integrator communicates with the Lightcloud Gateway to allow Lightcloud to interact with building management systems.

The BACnet workstation is capable of displaying the status of, or setting the state of, all BACnet compliant devices connected to the network. Communication between the Lightcloud Gateway and the BACnet workstation is through the Integrator. The Integrator maintains internal memory regions for the Lightcloud Gateway to write individual device status and regions where commands initiated from the BACnet workstation are held for the Lightcloud Gateway. The memory area used for status, commands, device names or device grouping is defined in a configuration file. The configuration file is formatted as a CSV (Comma Separated Value) file. This file is unique to every installation and changes when a device is added or removed.
