BACnet PICS

PICS, or Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement, is a document that describes the BACnet implementation properties in a standardized way. According to the performance of a particular platform, its communication ports, functionality of the device (e.g. a radiator controller or a management station), version, etc., certain functionalities were programmed in the device. The manufacturer states the important properties in the form of a standardized document, so that system integrators can easily see to what extent the device is compliant with the BACnet standard. In the text below, the unsupported properties are striked through because of formatting features of the help. The PICS is also downloadable as a pdf file at www.domat.cz.
