This article contains instructions on how to set up BACnet on Teltonika Networks devices.
BACnet provides a standardized way for devices from different manufacturers to communicate with each other and integrate seamlessly into a building automation system. This allows building managers and operators to monitor and control various building systems from a central location, optimizing energy efficiency, reducing operating costs, and improving occupant comfort and safety.

Bacnet BBMD – stands for "BACnet Broadcast Management Device." A BBMD is a device that manages the routing of BACnet broadcast messages across different IP subnets. When a BACnet device sends a broadcast message, it is typically sent to all devices on the same subnet, but not to devices on other subnets. However, sometimes it is necessary for broadcast messages to be sent to devices on multiple subnets. This is where a BBMD comes in.

In this topology, there are two RUT955 routers - RUT1 and RUT2. RUT1 is connected to the server via LAN, and RUT2 is connected to the controller via RS485. RUT2 transmits data to RUT1, which then forwards it to the BACnet server.

Install the BACnet package on RUT1, then go to '''Services → BACnet''' and '''enable''' the instance. Everything else can be left as is or changed to suit your needs.
