BACnet Stack softBAC
Softdel's BACnet PR-22 compliant stack enables seamless building automation through IPv6 support and REST interfaces. Our solution supports all BACnet profiles across multiple platforms including Docker containers and embedded systems. With automatic APDU segmentation and database management, we help clients reduce integration time by up to 40% while ensuring secure communication through TLS 1.3 encryption.
Modbus Stack softMOD
Our Modbus RTU/TCP stack supports RS-485 interfaces and Ethernet networks with minimal memory footprint. The solution includes REST API integration and TLS 1.2 security for modern industrial environments. With 6KB program memory for client stacks and 11KB for servers, we enable efficient implementation across Texas Instruments, NXP, and ARM processors for both legacy and new automation systems.
HART Stack softHART
Softdel's HART 7.5 stack enables digital communication over 4-20mA analog loops for industrial instrumentation. With a compact 40KB memory footprint, our solution supports smart transmitters and field devices across major microcontroller platforms. The royalty-free stack includes HCF test suite certification and one-year warranty, reducing firmware development time by up to 60% for flow meters, pressure sensors, and process controllers.
BACnet Simulator BOSS
BOSS Simulator creates virtual BACnet networks for testing and troubleshooting with support for 250+ devices. The tool enables service command simulation, real-time monitoring, and configuration backup across PR-19 compliant environments. With BBMD support and segmentation capabilities, we help OEMs identify interoperability issues before deployment, reducing field testing costs by up to 35% for HVAC and building automation systems.

We came to SoftDEL with little more than a concept. SoftDEL was able to take that concept and turn it into a revenue-generating reality. SoftDEL has exceeded expectations in every aspect of product development cycle. We are enthusiastic about working with SoftDEL on other projects including enhancements to the current BACnet solution. Well done, SoftDEL.
