High Density Diagnostic B/SC Hubs and Site CA
The Cimetrics Secured by Cimetrics (SbC) SbC4000 hardware appliance and SbC410x Virtual Machine (VM) are high-density BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) hubs and site certificate authority (CA) platforms engineered to simplify secure, large-scale BACnet/SC network deployments. These platforms solve core integration challenges including BACnet/SC certificate management, device onboarding, BACnet Secure Connect diagnostics, multi-vendor interoperability, and secure network segmentation.
The SbC4000 is a diagnostic BACnet/SC hub in a hardware form factor that can replace multiple expensive BAS hub controllers, supporting up to 500 BACnet/SC devices in a single appliance. For larger building automation and smart infrastructure projects, the SbC410x VM delivers identical functionality and scales to 4,000+ devices in a centralized primary/failover deployment model. Trusted in airports, university campuses, and government facilities, SbC appliances deliver security, scalability, interoperability, and simplified BACnet/SC network management in mission-critical environments.
Key Features & Benefits of the Cimetrics Diagnostic Hubs
Centralized, Scalable BACnet/SC Certificate Management
• Full Certificate Lifecycle Management – One SbC appliance (hardware or VM) can serve as the site-wide Certificate Authority (CA), issuing, renewing, and revoking BACnet/SC certificates for all devices—across multiple vendors—without downtime.
• Multi-Vendor Certificate Workflow & Interoperability – Seamlessly manage certificates across Siemens, JCI, Distech, Schneider, and other BACnet/SC device manufacturers.
• Secure CA Transfer – Easily hand off the site CA from an external systems integrator to in-house IT or BAS teams while retaining all keys and certificates.
High-Density Diagnostic Hub Functionality
• Scale from Hundreds to Thousands of Devices – One SbC4000 high-density BACnet/SC hub can replace several vendor-specific BAS hub controllers, cutting hardware costs and simplifying network design.
• Flexible Capacity Options – SbC4000 hardware supports up to 500 devices; SbC410x VM supports 4,000+ devices in centralized primary/failover configurations.
Advanced BACnet/SC Diagnostics & Troubleshooting
• Encrypted Network Diagnostics – Pinpoint certificate issues, failed connections, and BACnet/SC traffic anomalies on encrypted networks.
• Wireshark-Compatible Packet Capture – Capture BACnet/SC network traffic using the SC certificate for secure analysis without exposing private keys.
Centralized Security Logging from BACnet Network Segmentation Devices (BNSDs)
• Collects BACnet firewall logs from all connected BACnet Network Segmentation Devices (BNSDs), recording traffic filtering, policy changes, and security events for compliance reporting and forensic investigation.
Flexible Physical & Virtual Deployment
• SbC4000 Hardware – Rack, panel, or DIN-rail mount.
• SbC410x VM – Deploy in virtualized environments for large-scale or distributed building automation systems.
