Building Automation and Control Systems
Published in Scott Dunning, Larry S. Katz, Energy Calculations & Problem Solving Sourcebook, 2020
Communications protocols are a set of messages to be sent and received between computers and devices to control equipment, obtain data, and report status. Protocols are fundamentally computer languages that allow devices to operate as a system. BACNet is a protocol standard (see below).Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is a control method for building lighting. DALI devices interface with light ballasts through a dedicated cable that is shared among all devices.X10 is a language and protocol that uses a power line carrier (see below) on existing wiring.
Smart Grid Standardization Work

In attempting to deploy smart grid applications such as AMI and DR to the home, utilities have necessarily entered the volatile home and building automation markets. These industries have implemented a huge variety of networking technologies, open and proprietary, wired and wireless. The leaders in this area include HomePlug 6LoWPAN and ZigBee, plus semi-proprietary solutions like LonTalk, Insteon, and Z-Wave; more traditional (but costly and power-hungry) open standards like Ethernet and Wi-Fi; and popular legacy protocols, such as X10. Such diversity and lack of interoperability have presented difficulties to the vendors in these markets previously, but the problem has been exacerbated by the deployment of AMI and other smart grid applications. Utilities would prefer to implement a single networking technology across every premise in their service area, a possibility that was previously very unlikely in this market.

A survey of intelligent building automation with machine learning and IoT

Protocol x10 is an open-layer protocol designed for home automation wiring communications. The main feature is to send control commands via the home electrical wiring and can be reused without the need for wiring (Jiang et al., 2004). Connecting devices by passing low voltage signals through the wiring, these signals do not affect other home electrical appliances.
