16th Plugfest of the BIG-EU in Paris – Great Interest in BACnet\/SC<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Around 40 participants from 17 companies in the BACnet community met in Paris from May 10 to 12 to test the communication of their BACnet devices at the BIG-EU Plugfest.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with the previous 15 European Plugfests, there was again a great deal of interest in testing BACnet communications with other manufacturers. Participants traveled not only from European countries but also from the USA and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One focus in particular was secure BACnet\/SC components. BACnet\/SC stands for BACnet Secure Connect and it is a new data link layer of the BACnet standard. It enables secure, encrypted data transmission in accordance with current IT standards. At the same time, a connection to existing BACnet installations can be established via routers. This ensures easy migration and investment security with BACnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous communication layers, like BACnet\/IP and MS\/TP, were also tested. The technical moderation and conception was done by Christoph Zeller from Sauter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the last Plugfest of the BIG-EU in October 2022, it is not only the interest in BACnet\/SC that has increased. The number of BACnet\/SC-enabled devices has also increased significantly since then. More and more devices are being successfully tested and certified with BACnet\/SC. As at the previous Plugfest, experience gained on site led directly to improvements in commissioning and further device optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
