Protocols?
Every day people follow rules written or unwritten rules of society. As well for devices there are rules, these set of rules are called protocols. hey define a lan!ua!e and a set of rules and procedures that ena"le devices and syste#s to co##unicate.

PROTOCOLS = LANGUAGES

Different Protocols?
$hat happen if you have different protocol in a sa#e networ%& 'evices with different protocols are li%e hu#ans spea%in! different lan!ua!es, you need a translator. his ( ranslator) is called *A E$A+.

2ACnet is literally a "oo% that defines #ethods that a #anufacturer can use, if it chooses, to #a%e syste#s which can "e interopera"le with other 2ACnet syste#s in various ways. 9wners and specifiers can also use 2ACnet as a tool for specification and to add precision to the specification of interopera"le syste#s. 2ACnet does not replace the need for specifyin! what one wants or needs. 3t si#ply provides so#e standardiJed tools to help ena"le the creation of syste#s that can interoperate.
