The TOP Server Building Automation Suite provides a license for use on a single computer for the most popular drivers required by many building automation applications.
For facilities and building management, the TOP Server Building Automation Suite installs easily and is quickly configured for management and control of the building lighting, HVAC, power, safety and security systems from your HMI/SCADA, DCS or Data Historian. This facilitates greater efficiency and enables lower energy costs.
For applications where multiple industry standard protocols are required (such as BACnet and Modbus, and some that are non-standard), the Building Automation Suite is an economical option.
With TOP Server's plug-in architecture, you can easily combine the TOP Server Building Automation Suite with any other TOP Server Industry Suites or add additional suites and drivers from TOP Server's extensive driver list.
Drivers Included:
- Seamless connectivity to building lighting, HVAC, power, safety, security and other systems via supported standards in a common communications layer (for a full list of included drivers and suites, see Drivers Included below).
- Supports common open standards including BACnet/IP and Modbus.
- Monitor local server performance metrics.
- Extensive connectivity for HMI, SCADA, MES, ERP, and database applications (SQL, Access, Oracle).
- Highly scalable using seven included protocols across applications from dozens up to thousands of devices.
- Secure communications from client to device across various network architectures.
- Flexible connectivity options with included user-configurable and custom drivers.

The One-Stop Solution
by A. Moreno -
This particular suite has it all in one convenient package. It enhances integration and facilitates consolidation for all my communication needs. Pair it with advanced tags and it becomes even better. The ability to fine tune your data with the ease of verification from the quick client has this particular suite as my most recommended one for customers and peers alike.
