BACnet® Products
Built for Seamless Integration
Our building automation products are designed and tested to support BACnet® standards, ensuring reliable interoperability and smooth system integration. With proven compliance and performance, our solutions provide confidence, flexibility, and compatibility across modern building automation environments.
What does native BACnet mean?
Native BACnet means that the BACnet operating stack is embedded directly in the device. Every Reliable Controls BACnet Controller has the BACnet stack at the board level.
Every Reliable Controls device is peer-to-peer. There are no additional management devices required for communications with other vendor's products.

Future Proofing
Your building automation system will begin paying dividends immediately through energy savings, and improved comfort. Future-proof your facility by insisting on native BACnet Controller products.
BACnet will not become obsolete. It is an open standard protocol (ASHRAE Standard 135) that can easily be extended with new features to meet the rapidly changing demands of the Building Automation industry.
This is accomplished without introducing any incompatibility with existing BACnet networks and products. Eliminate obsolescence and save money.

System Capabilities
The Reliable Controls system enables you to:
- Build 'native' BACnet systems exclusively with Reliable Controls BACnet Controller products.
- Use the BACnet protocol to interface with Original Equipment Manufacturers products.
- Add to another vendor's native BACnet system using Reliable Controls products.
- Mix legacy Reliable Controls products and BACnet protocol networks into one system.
- Connect all earlier versions of controllers to native BACnet networking.
- Configure a BACnet controller for either BACnet or Reliable Controls protocol while in the field.
- Operate a Reliable Controls 'native' BACnet system with another vendor's BACnet software. Compatibility with existing BACnet networks and products. Eliminate obsolescence and save money.
