AUTOMATION SYSTEM DDC4000 MEETS HIGHEST BACNET STANDARDS

Successful upgrade of BTL certification

The BACnet-compliant interoperability of the devices was tested in May 2021 in an accredited BACnet Test Laboratory (BTL) and verified by a BTL certificate and by the award of the legally protected BTL logo.

Kieback&Peter’s DDC4000 automation systems were among the first ever BTL-certified BACnet building controllers in 2014. With the upgrade to the current BACnet standard to revision 1.20, their communication capabilities have been enhanced by the addition of new object attributes in the BACnet protocol. The advantages for building operators: HVAC systems, lighting control and shading can be controlled and monitored in a more differentiated manner. This provides a plus in energy efficiency and comfort. "Today, BACnet technology plays a key role when it comes to the economical and sustainable construction and operation of modern properties such as smart buildings. In tenders for public properties, for example, often only devices with a BTL label are approved," says Guido Garagnon, Product Manager at Kieback&Peter. "BTL-labeled products such as the Kieback&Peter’s DDC4000 controllers as well as our Qanteon building and energy management software, which has been certified in 2020 according to BACnet Protocol Revision 1.20, ensure not only smooth and secure communication between all building components across manufacturers, but also that the system can be adapted and expanded at any time. An added value that gives operators higher investment security."
