The ProLinx BACnet Client driver can be used to interface many different
protocols with Ethernet-enabled BACnet devices. The BACnet driver supports a
single UDP Client to interface with one or more devices that contain a BACnet
server.
The driver interfaces with a common internal database in the gateway. This
permits the sharing of data across many different networks. The following
illustration shows the functionality of the BACnet Client driver when interfaced
with serial communication based networks.
