Delivering Customer-Scale BACnet Validation for Building Automation Controls
A building automation controls manufacturer needed to validate its controllers and BACnet platform against the network sizes its customers actually deploy, well beyond what a physical lab can hold.

Customer-Scale Validation of Controllers and BACnet Platform
BACnet IPv6, BACnet/SC
BMS, Control Platforms, Controllers, Multi-Subnet Networks
Physical labs are essential, but they rarely represent deployment scale
Customer buildings run large, multi-subnet BACnet networks. A lab bench holds a fraction of that, so the issues that only appear at scale stay hidden until release or deployment.
- −Device count is limited by hardware, wiring, and lab space.
- −Large customer network topologies are hard to recreate.
- −Scale issues surface late in release or deployment cycles.
- −Regression coverage is slow when every environment is physical.
- ✓Creates realistic virtual BACnet environments at customer scale.
- ✓Lets BMS, control platforms, and controllers interact with virtual devices as if they were part of the lab network.
- ✓Recreates multi-subnet topologies with a unique IP for every virtual device.
- ✓Supports BACnet IPv6 and BACnet/SC communication.
- ✓Runs repeatable regression across customer-scale configurations.
Validate what breaks only at scale
Doppelio puts controllers and the BACnet platform under the load of a full customer building, so scale-dependent behavior is tested in the lab instead of discovered on site.
Large-Scale Device Discovery
Controllers and platforms discover and enumerate device populations at customer network size.
COV Subscriptions and Trend Traffic
Change-of-value subscriptions and trend logging run across thousands of points at once.
Alarm Bursts and Telemetry Volume
Simultaneous alarms and sustained telemetry test how the platform holds up under peak load.
Offline and Intermittent Devices
Virtual devices drop, reconnect, and flap on demand to validate recovery and alarm handling.
Regression Across Customer-Scale Configurations
Each customer-scale configuration reruns as a repeatable regression suite on every release.
Controllers, BMS, and control platforms see virtual devices as part of the lab network.
Doppelio turns a limited physical BACnet lab into a repeatable, large-scale validation environment for customer-scale building automation scenarios.
