BACnet®
BACnet®: For Manufacturer-Independent Building Control

BACnet® (Building Automation and Control Networks) is a data transfer protocol for building automation and control. BACnet® simplifies communication within the building automation between products from different manufacturers.

BACnet® in Brief:

  • Standardized data exchange for building automation
  • Uniform communication on the management, automation and field levels
  • Cross-system integration of devices of different building control systems, e.g., elevator surveillance, access control, power supply or radio applications

Flexible Integration: BACnet® in Building Automation

BACnet® ensures data exchange between different devices in a uniform overall system. It supports a number of network technologies and topologies, including the IP protocol, allowing cross-system integration of HVAC, lighting control, security and fire alarm systems on the management and automation level.

Overview of BACnet/SC

Your Safety Standard for Smart Buildings – Interoperability, Efficiency and Future-Proof

What is BACnet/SC?

BACnet/SC (BACnet Secure Connect) heralds a new era in modern IT infrastructure. It is thus finally possible to encrypt the approximately 25 million BACnet devices installed worldwide due to their 100% compatibility with existing BACnet/IP or BACnet MS/TP networks. Elaborate BBMD configurations, static IP addresses or unencrypted telegrams are now a thing of the past! With BACnet/SC, segments, networks, buildings or even entire properties can be connected to each other easily and securely.

What Is the Difference from BACnet®?

BACnet/SC is a new protocol layer in the OSI/ISO layer model of the BACnet® standard. This integration into the existing BACnet® standard provides the advantage that BACnet/IP or BACnet MS/TP networks are 100% compatible with the BACnet/SC network.

This means that existing BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP networks are encrypted by BACnet® routing into a BACnet/SC network. In order to switch to encrypted, manufacturer-independent data transmission via BACnet Secure Connect, no new programming of the BACnet® objects is required.
