The XIO interfaces of the NETx BMS Core Server are responsible for providing the access to the devices and datapoints that are located at the field and automation level of the building automation system. To achieve this, they implement the protocol stacks of the used network technologies. Within the current version of the NETx BMS Core Server, the following XIO interfaces are supported:
- KNX (cf. Section 4.3.1)
- Modbus (cf. Section 4.3.2)
- BACnet (cf. Section 4.3.3)
The remainder of this section describes these different XIO interfaces.
