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.
The True Cost of OT Network Blind Spots
When the systems that run our buildings (like heating and cooling, lights, and elevators) stop working, it’s more than just an inconvenience—it can cause major problems. Unlike computer networks that often have backups, building systems usually don’t. There’s no spare set of elevators or backup lights waiting to be switched on.
