BACnet PICS for P-CCS

This reference guide defines the BACnet Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) for use with ETC's Unison Paradigm Central Control Server (P-CCS).

Unison Paradigm Central Control Server BACnet Interface

BACnet Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS)

Vendor Name: Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc. (ETC) – BACnet Vendor ID # 433

Product Name: Unison Paradigm Central Control Server

Product Model Number: P-CCS

Application Software Version: v4.0 or newer

1. Product Description

The P-CCS BACnet Interface allows a BACnet Client to interface with and control a Unison Paradigm lighting system. BACnet IP Clients physically connect via the Secondary Network Interface of the P-CCS, positioning the server as a gateway between the Unison system and BACnet client applications. It exposes a series of BACnet objects that reflect the state / condition of Paradigm lighting devices and permit control.
