VLANs and BBMDs seem at complete odds with each other. One is meant to separate and segregate traffic. The other is designed to broadcast messages across the network, without limit for which devices should get what messages.
BBMDs and VLANs coexist on IP and MS/TP networks everywhere. We need to know how to properly segregate traffic while making sure devices get the information they need.
Watch our webinar with Robert Lastinger from Distech Controls, with a live demo on a BACnet MS/TP network. We’ll share best practices you can apply to your networks today, how to configure MS/TP to IP routing, and answer all your questions about managing VLANs and BBMDs.
How OT Networks Drive Decarbonization and Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is at the heart of many organizations’ policies to address their overall carbon footprints. For facilities operators, campus managers, and their vendors, the drive to decarbonize falls under their purview. Let’s look at what exactly decarbonization is, what impacts this policy has on OT networks, and some of the ways facilities and systems integrators have begun to tackle the problem.
