DyNet – The Network Protocol

DyNet is a communications protocol that operates on an RS485 four-wire network. It was developed by Philips Dynalite to control lighting and is also used to interface, at both high and low levels, to HVAC (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning), security, fire detection systems, access control, blinds, motors and other electrical loads in a building. A DyNet network may also be integrated as part of other control systems such as a Building Management System (BMS) or Audio Visual (AV)Control System.
