Having options sure can be nice; however, sometimes help is needed to weigh out the options in order to choose the best one. Here at Functional Devices, we have lots of options for relays and other devices in the "Intelligent Field Devices" category. A brief glance through the category and one will see two options: BACnet-enabled devices and Modbus-enabled devices. The big question, though, is which one is the right choice?
Simply looking at the products that we have to offer, then, one may see we have many options for BACnet. Here is a rundown of the features of the products within each category:
At the end of the day, the right product to choose might come down to a couple of specifications: 1) the best communication protocol for the application; 2) the features needed within the product itself. If the BACnet protocol is already implemented, then the choice is made up for you. Refer to the chart above for a quick rundown of the different features of each device.
