The BACnet/IP Channel Tag
provides a SCADA communication channel for BACnet.
The BACnet/IP Channel Tag supports two modes of operation:
The BACnet/IP Channel Tag supports the properties of the Active Channel Tag plus these properties:
Property | Type | Version | Description |
---|---|---|---|
BACnetPort | WSTRING | 3.78 | The UDP port number used for BACnet communications. The default port is 47808. |
ConnectionType | USINT | 3.78 |
The type of connection to establish:
|
BACnetNetwork | WSTRING | 3.78 |
The IP Network to use for BACnet communication.
Use CIDR notation for this property.
For example:
192.168.1.0/24 Note: This property is ignored if ConnectionType is Foreign Device |
BBMDAddress | WSTRING | 3.78 |
The address of the BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD).
Use any of the following:
Note: This property is ignored if ConnectionType is Direct Connection |
RegistrationInterval | TIME | 3.78 |
The interval between each registration with the BBMD.
Note: This property is ignored if ConnectionType is Direct Connection |
RegistrationOffset | TIME | 3.78 |
The offset added to the RegistrationInterval to get the actual time of the registration.
Note: This property is ignored if ConnectionType is Direct Connection |
The BACnet/IP Channel Tag supports the tag commands of the Active Channel Tag.
This is an example configuration for a BACnet/IP channel:
Property | Value | Comment |
---|---|---|
BACnetPort | 47808 | The default UDP port for BACnet communications. |
ConnectionType | Foreign Device | Access the BACnet network using a BBMD. |
ReplyTimeout | 15s | The driver waits up to 15 seconds for responses. |
BBMDAddress | 192.168.92.68 | The BBMD is at IP Address 192.168.92.68. |
RegistrationInterval | 5m | Five minutes between each registration with the BBMD. |
RegistrationOffset | 0s | Each registration occurs on the 5 minute boundary. |
The BACnet/IP Channel Tag builds on the features of these tag types:
