Reliable Controls® buidling controls products are tested and listed with the BACnet® Testing Laboratory (BTL).
Look for the BTL mark and be confident with your next building automation system integration.

Native BACnet® means that the BACnet® operating stack is embedded directly in the device. Every Reliable Controls®
BACnet® Controller has the BACnet® stack at the board level. Every Reliable Controls®
device is peer-to-peer. There are no additional management devices required for communications with other
vendor's products.
Your building automation system will begin paying dividends immediately through energy savings, and
improved comfort. Future-proof your facility by insisting on native BACnet® Controller products.
BACnet® will not become obsolete. It is an open standard protocol (ASHRAE Standard 135) that
can easily be extended with new features to meet the rapidly changing demands of the Building Automation
industry. This is accomplished without introducing any incompatibility with existing
BACnet® networks and products. Eliminate obsolescence and save money.

The Reliable Controls® MACH-System™ enables you to:
- Build 'native' BACnet® systems exclusively with Reliable Controls® BACnet® Controller products.
- Use the BACnet® protocol to interface with Original Equipment Manufacturers products.
- Add to another vendor's native BACnet® system using Reliable Controls® products.
- Mix legacy Reliable Controls® products and BACnet® protocol networks into one system.
- Upgrade all earlier versions of MACH controllers (Air, Zone, 1, 2, Net) to native BACnet® networking.
- Configure a BACnet® controller for either BACnet® or Reliable Controls® protocol while in the field.
- Operate a Reliable Controls® 'native' BACnet® system with another vendor's BACnet® software.

- BACnet® Interest Group Europe e.V. (BIG-EU) is an organization whose goal and objective are to lower building costs and greater
energy efficiency. It is because systems that
communicate with each other in a single language are far superior to isolated solutions,
that we demand the prevalence of the BACnet standard in Europe.
