Configuring the integration in just two steps
6.1 Importing BACnet points list and configuring IntesisBox
The first step is to obtain, from the technical documentation of the BACnet device(s) to
integrate, the following information:
•
Device number.
•
A list of all the points wanted to be integrated, this list must contain for every point:
•
Signal's descriptive name.
•
BACnet object type.
•
BACnet object instance.
Once this information has been collected, you can begin to configure the gateway:
•
Create a New ASCI-INT based project as explained above.
•
If there are few points to integrate you can use directly LinkBoxBacnet to add the points
and introduce the BACnet parameters into the appropriate columns, if a lot of points
have to be integrated it is recommended to use Excel to update the file containing the
signals list (ASCI-INT.DAT), we will explain here this process using Excel.
•
Open the ASCI-INT.DAT file located under the project folder with Excel. This is a text file
with Tab separated fields, so configure accordingly the filters to open tab separated
fields text files in Excel.
•
Introduce the point's parameters collected from the BACnet device(s) documentation
into the appropriate columns of the file, adding as many rows to the file as points
required. See example of file opened with Excel below.

Follow these indications when filling the columns:
•
Column 1: Auto-enumerate in increasing order (1,2,3...).
•
Column 2: Enter the device number to which belongs the point (referenced the
list of devices defined in Connection Tab as explained in section 4.3, note that
this is not the device number configured in the BACnet device itself).
•
Column 3: Enter the BACnet object type for the point, with the correct format
(see section 4.4 for details about correct formats). Consult BACnet device
documentation for details about object types for every point.
•
Column 4: Enter always "85-Present Value".
•
Column 5: Enter the descriptive name of the point
•
Column 6: Enter the BACnet object instance for the point, a number. Consult
BACnet device documentation for details about object instances for every point.
•
Column 7: Enter the point's address, a number between 1 and 9999, do not
duplicate addresses. We recommend you to auto-enumerate in increasing order
(1,2,3...).
•
Column 8: Enter the signal direction for the point (0-R, 1-W, 2-R/W) according to
the BACnet object type also entered for the point, with the correct format (see
section 4.4 for details about correct formats).
