This document specifies the hardware requirements needed to carry out building automation tasks.

This document is applicable to physical devices, i.e.:

—     devices that require human interaction, such as management stations or operator panels;

—     devices for data storage and analysis, such as edge or cloud servers;

—     devices for control applications, such as automation stations;

—     devices for physical quantities acquisition, such as sensors and actuators.

This document provides a generic system topology based on a building network infrastructure, which includes both the devices inside the building envelope and those outside the building envelope.
