Does Ignition have this driver available yet? (BACnet/IP) ---

No, it’s not planned until after Ignition 8. Kepware’s has BACnet driver if you need immediate access to BACnet devices. ---

When you say after Ignition 8, does that mean Ignition 9? Do you know roughly when BACNet/IP will be supported? ---

After Ignition 8. **0** would be more accurate. There will be many ‘minor’ versions in the 8.X ‘major’ version, just like there have been in 7. ---

Until Ignition comes out with a native BACNET driver, we have for years been using a appliance like the Babel Buster 2 (BACNET to ModbusTCP), if you go that route just make sure you have a good back up of your register mappings in this appliance just incase the unit dies (We have never lost one yet). ---

Hi guys, any update on this driver? I am looking forward to it. ---

We’re working on an Omron FINS driver right now. BACnet is on the shortlist though. Probably next. Timeline is probably 8.1+ though. ---

Another couple of months passed. Any update for us? Native BACnet would be really great! ---

BACnet/IP is still next but we haven’t started working on it. ---

Once you guys start working on this, do you have an estimated development time and would it be available for Ignition 8 only or also Ignition 7.9? ---

Ignition 8 only and we’re shooting for Spring 2020 release but still haven’t started. ---

We could also make use of a Bacnet/IP driver. It would save a lot of hassle I think with our building automation. ---

It is that time of the year that I am, again, very curious about Bacnet drivers 🙂 ---

I think we’ll have a beta available for download today or tomorrow. Just need to get the nightly section of the website updated. ---

I will make a new sticky forum post like we did with the Omron FINS driver with information about how to get started once it’s available to download. [Next page](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/15264-bacnet-ip-driver/15771.md?page=2)
