SBA 533: BACnet-SC Overview
BACnet over SC is starting to show up in specs, submittals, and IT conversations more often. If you touch BAS networks, this episode helps you understand what is changing and what stays the same, so you can walk into the next project with confidence. You’ll hear why legacy BACnet/IP assumptions are colliding with modern IT expectations, how Secure Connect shifts communication patterns, and what that means for troubleshooting when things stop talking. It also puts clear boundaries around the difference between a true standard and vendor marketing language, so you can ask better questions before deployment. Topics Covered Why BACnet over SC was created, and what it fixes compared to BACnet/IP The security gaps in plain-text, unauthenticated BAS traffic How hubs change communication flow and discovery across routed networks Certificates, trust stores, and what technicians will need to manage Where BACnet over SC fits today and what tradeoffs to expect If you want to be ready for the next Division 25-driven job or the next IT security review, this is the one to queue up.
