Bacnet/sc secure with encryption communication

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a project where I need to communicate with a new Johnson Controls system that uses Bacnet/SC — the secure/encrypted version of Bacnet.

As far as I know, Ignition doesn't currently support BACnet/SC directly, and it seems that Kepware doesn't support it either.

Has anyone here successfully integrated with BACnet/SC using Ignition?
Any advice, workarounds, or suggested tools would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

From what I have read, it is a TLS/Websockets layer around Bacnet, so in theory existing drivers could be modified to enable it. Haven't seen it as yet.

Echoing @andrea.minu, we're curious when BACnet/SC will be supported by the Ignition BACnet driver.

Sorry, it's not even planned at this point, so I couldn't answer that. The underlying BACnet library we use doesn't implement it.

Doing a bacnet system right now, albeit not /sc. But why not use a bacnet/sc gateway like AHR 2023: BACnet/SC

Bridges /sc with Bacnet/IP and /MS

Im doing Bacnet at the PLC level using an MAS field server gateway to bridge Bacnet/IP to EIP, then passing the data to Ignition through standard UA drivers.
