Page 5: Bacnet Ptp Description
BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual BACNET PTP DESCRIPTION The BACnet PTP driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices using the BACnet protocol over a serial RS-232 physical layer. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client. All information in a BACnet system is represented in terms of objects. -
Page 6: Hardware Connections
BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual HARDWARE CONNECTIONS It is possible to connect a BACnet device to any of the eight RS-232 ports. These ports just need to be configured for BACnet in the configuration file. Configure the device according to manufacturer’s instructions: 8917-03 8917-03 WIRE LIST FUNCTION... -
Page 7: Data Array Parameters
BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual DATA ARRAY PARAMETERS Data Arrays are “protocol neutral” data buffers for storage of data to be passed between protocols. It is necessary to declare the data format of each of the Data Arrays to facilitate correct storage of the relevant data. -

Page 16: Appendix A. Useful Features
BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual Appendix A. Useful Features Appendix A.1. BACnet Object Names When an external BACnet Client builds a list of Object Names, the BACnet Server Map Descriptor names determine the BACnet Object Name. If the Map Descriptor length is greater than 1, the Object Name will be suffixed with the index into the Map Descriptor. -
Page 17: Appendix A.3. Accessing Data From Bacnet Properties Comprising Arrays Of Values
BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual Appendix A.3. Accessing Data from BACnet Properties Comprising Arrays of Values Some BACnet Object properties (e.g. Priority_Array) are arrays of values (the Priority_Array property is an array of 16 values). In order to read a specific array entry, the Array_Index must be specified in the Map Descriptor. -
Page 18: Appendix A.5. Bacnet State Text Preload
BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual Appendix A.5. BACnet State Text Preload BACnet Multistate Objects have a State_Text property. This property is defined as an array of character strings representing descriptions of all possible states of the Present_Value. The number of descriptions matches the number of states defined in the Number_Of_States property. -
Page 19: Appendix A.5.3. Using Intrinsic Reporting For A Multistate Value
BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual Appendix A.5.3. Using Intrinsic Reporting for a Multistate Value To use Intrinsic Reporting for a Multistate value, it is necessary to classify each of the states as either Normal, Alarm or Trouble. This is done by adding another column to the Offset_Table, called Table_User_Value. -
Page 20: Appendix A.6. Cov And Intrinsic Reporting
BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual Appendix A.6. COV and Intrinsic Reporting The COV (Change of Value) and Intrinsic Reporting services are two distinct ways in which point values can be reported to a client workstation as they change, i.e. in an event-driven opposed to a polling method. -

BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual Appendix A.9. Specifying ReadPropertyMultiple and WritePropertyMultiple Transactions Using Linked Map Descriptors The ReadPropertyMultiple (RPM) and WritePropertyMultiple (WPM) BACnet services allow many objects and attributes to be read and written in a single transaction. Since FieldServer Map Descriptors can only refer to a single object type and address range, an RPM or WPM transaction can be constructed by linking multiple Map Descriptors. - Page 24 BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual Example Map_Descriptors Map_Descriptor_Name , Object_Type , Property , Function , Data_Array_Name , Data_Array_Offset , Node_Name , Address , Length , Write_Priority , Linked_Map_Descriptor CMD WPM , AO , Wrbc , DA WPM , N1 1 Configure a Map Descriptor for each Object and Property.
