I'm exploring to the building management system. How can I develop end to end flow with Controller.
What do you recommend for controlling Siemens/Beckhoff?
Can you share the architecture and also any experiences/advice that can be helpful to get started with BMS? What should be needed for developing this system?

To develop an end-to-end Building Management System (BMS) with controllers like Siemens or Beckhoff, start by understanding the core architecture, which typically includes sensors, controllers, a central management platform, and user interfaces.
The controllers (Siemens/Beckhoff) handle data from sensors (e.g., temperature, humidity) and execute control commands (e.g., HVAC, lighting). Use industry-standard communication protocols like BACnet, Modbus, or OPC UA for integration.
