Current Test Capabilities
The current BTL Lab Test capabilities include Building Controllers, Advanced Application Controller,
Application-Specific Controllers, Smart Actuators, and Smart Sensors.
If you have a gateway you want to test, please contact the BTL Manager to see if your device can be accommodated.
The BTL Lab has been incrementally adding testing capability over the years. The BTL Mark specifies what Date
the device was tested and thus indicates the testing capability available at the time of testing.
In January 2002, the BTL started testing B-SA and B-SS and B-ASC devices. In January 2004, the lab extended
testing to include testing B-AAC devices. In May 2005, the BTL lab added enough capability to test B-BC devices.
The BTL Working Group is actively working toward defining the testing requirements for the B-OWS devices.
The BTL currently tests the profiles colored in BLUE below:
| BACnet® PROFILES |
| B-OWS | [Operators Workstation Software] |
| B-BC | [Building Controller] |
| B-AAC | [Advanced Application Controller] |
| B-ASC | [Application Specific Controller] |
| B-SA | [Smart Actuator] |
| B-SS | [Smart Sensor] |
|
The BTL will test any device as long as the product’s main purpose does not involve a user interface. The product must
also not be marketed as a B-OWS device. If the device is a gateway, the capabilities must be reviewed by the BTL Manager
to determine if the lab is capable of testing it.
The BTL Lab can test devices that support the data link implementations colored in BLUE below:
| DATA LINK |
| ISO 8802-3 (“Ethernet”) |
| ARCNET |
| MS/TP |
| Point To Point |
| LonTalk |
| BACnet/IP |
|
The BTL Lab is capable of testing the following routing combinations colored in BLUE below:
| ROUTING |
| Physical BACnet LANs* |
| Half-routing as per clause 6.7 ASHRAE 135 |
| BACnet LAN and virtual BACnet LAN as per clauses H.1 and H.2 in ASHRAE 135 |
|
* Note: The physical BACnet LANs available for testing are limited by the BTL capability of testing the data link layer.
See the Data Link chart above.

Profile Exceptions:
- DM-BR-B is tested but not required by a B-BC device profile to be listed due to issues with the current standards
requirements. Proposal CN-069-6 has been presented to the SSPC to change the current requirements.
- DS-COVU-A,B is not currently tested and therefore, B-BC devices currently are not required to have this feature.
The reason this BIBB is not currently tested is that there is no well defined application for this BIBB and there is
no interoperable way to configure this feature.
- NM-CE-A is not currently tested and therefore, B-BC devices currently are not required to have this feature.
The reason this BIBB is not currently tested is that the PTP data link layer is not currently tested.
- DM-DOB-A is currently not required for B-BC devices because there is no well defined application for DM-DOB-A and
it can be easily done by other means. Proposal to remove from SSPC definition has been made. WS-020
