BACnet is an international standard communication protocol especially designed for building automation and control systems. In this paper, a reference model of network management system for BACnet is proposed and its implementation method is introduced. In order to evaluate the feasibility and validity of proposed network management system, it is applied to a real experimental model of BACnet network system. Proposed network management system complies with standard BACnet protocol and its functions are implemented in software without hardware dependencies so that it can be applied not only to newly installed BACnet system but also to already installed BACnet system by software upgrade. The network management system and its implementation method introduced in this paper will help BACnet-based automation system to be managed efficiently and they can be practically applied in real BACnet-based automation systems.
