Why BACstac/DN is the Best Choice for BACnet Development
In the fast-paced world of building automation, BACnet compliance is essential — and that's where BACstac/DN by Cimetrics shines. BACnet/DN protocol stack is specifically designed for developing BACnet-compliant Windows applications on Microsoft .NET 8. It simplifies development by handling the complexities of the BACnet protocol, allowing you to focus on creating powerful, efficient applications.
Why Choose BACstac/DN?
BACnet is a complex, 1500-page standard that challenges even the most experienced programmers. The HVAC and building automation world introduces unique concepts not taught in traditional computer science, making BACnet integration a steep learning curve.
That’s why Cimetrics developed BACstac/DN for Microsoft .NET 8 — a set of robust libraries that simplify BACnet integration. Even the largest HVAC companies rely on our code to stay up to date with hundreds of annual protocol changes.
Plus, with frequent Windows updates, ensuring compatibility with Windows 10+ and Windows Server 2016+ is time-consuming. BACstac/DN handles this for you — saving man-years of developer time every year!
