SAUTER BACnet/SC-Router receives BACnet Conformance Certificate

The BACnet router modu630-RT has been BTL-certified. This certification underscores SAUTER’s commitment to industry-leading solutions and highlights the BACnet/SC router’s compliance with the latest advancements introduced in revision 1.24 of the BACnet standard.

 

In 2023, SAUTER launched a BACnet/SC router (modu630-RT) as hardware for expanding existing BACnet installations to include encrypted communication. The BACnet/SC extension is based on security standards from IT, such as TLS 1.3, elliptic curve cryptography and mutual authentication. The BACnet/SC router can also take on the function of the BACnet/SC primary hub or the BACnet/SC failover hub in a BACnet/SC network. The modu630-RT incorporates the latest advancements brought by Revision 24 of the BACnet standard. These enhancements specifically focus on improving the representation and configuration of network settings related to BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC).

The 3 highlights of the BTL Certification

  • Support of multiple BACnet data link layers
    The modu630-RT router complies with the BACnet standard, supporting both BACnet/IP and BACnet/SC data link layers. This dual-layer support ensures versatile connectivity within building automation systems, offering seamless integration and enhanced communication capabilities.
  • Enhanced Interoperability:
    The certification confirms interoperability with BTL-certified devices from other manufacturers.
  • Commitment to Security:
    SAUTER recognises the paramount importance of secure communication in building networks. The BTL certification reinforces the modu630-RT’s capabilities in providing a secure and robust solution for BACnet communication.

What the BACnet/SC router can do for your installation

SAUTER Head Office was the target of a cyber security incident on November 20, 2024. SAUTER’s IT department immediately activated, well defined, internal emergency plans. All IT systems were completely isolated and shut down to successfully prevent the attack from spreading. External cybersecurity experts and data forensics specialists then began to check all systems and restore them securely. This process is unfortunately time-consuming, but absolutely necessary to ensure that the cyber-attack does not continue at a later date.


The SAUTER websites have been affected by the emergency operation and are available again with immediate effect.


There are currently no concrete indications that our customers' infrastructures have been compromised in any way by SAUTER devices. It appears to be an opportunistic incident with no clearly recognisable long-term goals or systematic attacks. The situation does not currently suggest that there is a targeted, sustained threat to the affected systems.
