BACnet PIC statementThe BACnet Protocol Implementation Conformance statement (BACnet PIC statement) is a standardized document that describes all BACnet services and BACnet object types supported by a certain BACnet product. This document is used to prove that a BACnet client is able to communicate with a BACnet device and that all required functions have been implemented. The BACnet PIC of the NETx BMS Core Server can be found at our web site. |
