MEETING JUNE 3rd, 2024
at Donohue's Bar and Grill in Watertown, MA
The purpose of the BACnet User Group is to bring together the local BACnet user community twice a year to share tips, techniques, and pains on the use of the BACnet products and technologies. Please forward this email to anyone who might benefit from our meetings.
Join us for a deep-dive into the world of BACnet/SC (BACnet Secure Connect) - the future of the buildings. As you know BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) is an addendum to the BACnet protocol released by the ASHRAE BACnet Committee. It is a secure, encrypted communication datalink layer that is specifically designed to meet the requirements, policies, and constraints of minimally managed to professionally managed IP infrastructures.
But how does it work in real life? During the meeting, we intend to show how BACnet/SC will be used in projects based on guidance in the Manufacturers' Guide to BAS Cybersecurity. The guide was created by a BAS industry collaboration to ensure the manageability of secure and interoperable BACnet systems. You will see how a BACnet/SC device is securely onboarded, how they are provisioned with necessary certificates, how the device can be monitored and managed through its lifetime. This will include a demonstration of BACnet International's new BACCARI tool.
Learn how you can easily and securely segment your network, what the best practices are and ask any questions about BACnet and BACnet/SC our ASHRAE fellow Jim Butler who participated in the creation of BACnet/SC.
You can learn more about BACnet/SC on BACnet International site. Signup for the free BACnet Insitute here for the wealth of resources on BACnet. Watch the video on utilizing BACnet/SC in Smart Buildings from AHR Expo education session here. Catch up with videos from our previous meetings BACnet/SC - secure alternative to BACnet.
As usual, the meeting is sponsored by BACnet International - free food and cash bar. BACnet International facilitates the successful use of the BACnet protocol in North America and worldwide, with education (The BACnet Institute), product testing and certification (BACnet Testing Laboratories), and promotional activities.
