Interoperability event in its 19th<\/sup>\u00a0year connecting BACnet vendors<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta, GA. \u2013 July 31, 2018 – The BACnet Testing Laboratories Working Group (BTL WG) invites manufacturers of BACnet products to attend the 19th annual PlugFest, the industry\u2019s leading workshop for companies to perform interoperability testing for their BACnet-enabled solutions. The event will take place at The University of New Hampshire\u2019s InterOperability Laboratory in Durham, NH, October 9 \u2013 11, 2018. The BTL WG will have a meeting preceding PlugFest on October 8, 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PlugFest is a unique event that permits vendors to test their BACnet products with BACnet devices from other vendors<\/strong> in a neutral and friendly environment. Last year, 74 BACnet engineers representing five continents attended, working together to improve their BACnet implementation and testing methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlugFest provides an opportunity for suppliers to validate the interoperability of their BACnet products and identify potential costly implementation errors,\u201d stated Andy McMillan, BACnet International president and managing director. \u201cThe fact that we are in our nineteenth consecutive year of PlugFest is a testament to the collaborative nature of the BACnet community and is one of the reasons BACnet has established itself as the global standard for building automation and control systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
