Supports following profiles: B-AAC, B-AACC, B-AACWS, B-ACC, B-ACCR, B-ACDC, B-ACSD, B-ACWS, B-AEC, B-AEWS, B-ALCS, B-ALSC, B-ALSWS, B-ALWS, B- ASC, B-AWS, B-BBMD, B-BC, B-EC, B-ED, B-EM, B-EWS, B-GW, B-LCS, B-LD, B-LOD, B-LS, B-LSAP, B-LSC, B-LSWS, B-OD, B-OWS, B-RTR, B-SA, B-SS, B-XAWS.

Data links: BACnet/SC, BACnet/IP with Foreign Device and BBMD support, BACnet/IPv6 with Foreign Device and BBMD support Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), BACnet/SC IPV6, MS/TP.

BACnet routing: This product supports BACnet routing functionality and the creation of multi-device gateways.

Operating system requirements: The target platform must support threads (tasks), semaphores, recursive mutexes, dynamic memory allocation, time, persistent storage (for configuration data), and the required network interfaces; please refer to the Porting Guide for more information. BACstac 7.10 has been verified on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (Bullseye), 12 (Bookworm), Ubuntu 24.04 (Focal), Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish), Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat ), TM32F7 (ARM Cortex M7 + FreeRTOS + LWIP). For lower-end ARM Cortex M microprocessors (M0 to M4) suggest using uBACstac.

Development tools: For Linux-based target platforms, supported development environments are gcc version 4.1 or later, Perl 5.6 or later (5.8 is recommended).
BACstac/32 is good for Cortex M7. ARM Cortex family includes a very powerful Cortex-A series, which runs Linux and are perfectly supported by both BACstac/32 and BACstac/Linux.

Code provided: Example programs, unit tests, makefiles for both, and complete C-language source code.

Documentation provided: User’s Guide, Porting Guide, and Programmers Reference.

Customers that want to develop a BACnet-compliant device that will run on Microsoft Windows should also consider the B1091 BACnet Software for Windows (source code).
