BACnet simulator-
BOSS

your complete virtual BACnet
device simulation tool

Softdel’s BOSS Simulator (BACnet Over IP simulation System) is a sophisticated BACnet monitoring, debugging, and simulation program that runs on any Windows® computer. It has a simple interface that is easy to use for BACnet professionals as well as novices.

BOSS Explorer can easily monitor, manage, debug and control any BACnet network and connected devices. The BOSS Simulator extends the functionality of BOSS Explorer by adding complex simulation and troubleshooting features, including support for A-side and B-side services, device discovery across routers, and auto command generation across the entire network.

Technicians can configure the BACnet network, issue service commands, and manage physical and virtual BACnet devices. Traffic can be automatically generated to test network behavior. Real-time monitoring and logging of the network are supported. BOSS Simulator can back up the object properties of the simulated created devices and restore the properties and configuration later.

BOSS Simulator is used as a standalone program to create and simulate a virtual network. An entire BACnet network consisting of virtual devices can be created, complete with simulated traffic. The simulated network can be loaded with the backup of a physical network, allowing a technician to troubleshoot the network without having to be on-site.

BOSS features
and scenarios

create virtual devices

  • Simulate around 250 BACnet/IP virtual devices with different objects under virtual router, along with property and service configurations, all on a single network.
  • Enable configuration of changing PVs for simulated objects.
  • Create a network of virtual BACnet devices for troubleshooting during development, integration, commissioning, and inter-operability testing with different device configurations.
  • User-configurable simulation of PVs (Present Values).

discover and browse

  • Auto-discover and browse BACnet devices on any accessible network. BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD) support enables device discovery across subnets.
  • Set and monitor property values of discovered device objects.
  • Real time logging, monitoring, and analysis of BACnet commands and responses.

generate service commands

  • Simulate a deployed BACnet environment by configuring a custom set of BACnet service commands to generate periodic network traffic.
  • Capture and analyse the transaction log of issued service requests and responses.

monitor object property values

  • Easily monitor any object property value, for a virtual or discovered physical device, to detect value changes and error responses.
  • Backup and restore support.
  • Synchronise device clocks.
  • Manage and monitor alarms, calendars and schedules.

benefits

efficiency

BOSS simulator tests the functionality of OEMs’ BACnet networks, allowing them to configure BACnet more effectively and efficiently for smart buildings.

predictive
maintenance

By simulating end customer BACnet device networks, OEMs can troubleshoot interoperability issues before live deployment and help make informed decisions.

cost-effective

Remotely simulating BACnet/IP device networks helps OEMs identify issues at the development and pre-testing stage, which reduces the effort and cost of testing.

flexibility

BOSS simulates multiple virtual devices on a single desktop, providing OEMs with a comprehensive look at the functionality and interoperability of each device.
