Lesson 7 in the video series on building automation systems. BAS 101 training class or building automation system basics. This lesson dives into the controller, programming, and niagara workbench.

This lesson gets further into the BAS training simulator purchased from DDC Support services. I've utilized some of the training material supplied with their system - www.DDCsupportservices.com

From the website:
The PT-181 is a portable training unit specifically designed for the DDC (Direct Digital Controls) industry. It is packaged with curriculum that is both embedded in the Trainer and contained in a written workbook resulting in a highly interactive student – trainer experience. The PT-181 incorporates some of the most popular DDC devices currently in use. The web-enabled DDC controller allows the student to access the Trainer using a standard web browser and HTML5 or JAVA WebStart®. All of the DDC devices are interfaced with the main controller via hardwired or network connections. BACnet IP (Ethernet) and MS/TP (RS485 serial) networks are utilized allowing the student to gain exposure to the most popular BAS networks in use. The PT-181s can be operated stand alone or easily networked together for use in a learning center environment. Onboard temperature, CO2, humidity, and motion sensors are included. Graphical object oriented programming is presented using the Niagara N4 Framework®
