The BAS network riser, linked to your points list

Drag in your equipment and draw the connections. The points list fills in as you go.

BAS network riser of an office building: controllers, networks and equipment by floor, in a title block.

Short answer

A BAS network riser shows how a building’s equipment connects to the front end: controllers, communication networks (BACnet, Modbus, KNX…) and field devices, floor by floor. In Structio, you draw it by dragging library equipment into each room; every device you place fills the points list, and a renamed tag changes in both.

What Structio puts in it

  • The equipment you drag in from the library, with its tag and model, any controller brand.
  • The connections you draw between controllers and devices, with each network’s protocol: BACnet, Modbus, KNX…
  • The job’s buildings, floors and rooms.
  • Your title block: your colors, your logo, your layout.
  • Automatic layout of the diagram, whenever you want it.
  • Export to PDF, PNG, SVG or DXF, one floor per page on large buildings.

How it is produced

  1. Create your job

    Buildings, floors, rooms: the structure of the building, in a few clicks.

  2. Drag in your equipment

    From the library, into each room, then draw the connections. You can also enter it in a table.

  3. The points list follows

    Every device you place brings its points. A tag changes? It changes everywhere.

Frequent questions

Which controller brands are supported?
Any brand. The library includes Distech Controls, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, KMC Controls and Tridium, among others, and you add your own models.
Do I have to generate the riser?
No. You draw it yourself by dragging equipment from the library. Generating it from your documents is just an option to go faster.
Which formats can I export the riser to?
PDF, PNG, SVG and DXF. On large buildings, the PDF puts one floor per page.
Can I keep my company’s look?
Yes: the riser comes out in your title block, with your colors and logo.
Does Structio replace Visio or AutoCAD for the riser?
For the riser and the points list, yes: both come from one project instead of two files kept by hand. The DXF opens in AutoCAD if you need to rework the drawing.
Can I share it with someone who has no account?
Yes, with a read-only share link that you can revoke at any time.
