Compatibility with Siemens Native BACnet and Third-party Automation Systems

Compatibility with Siemens Native BACnet and
Third-party Automation Systems
MS/TP PPM devices are BTL listed as application specific controllers (ASC) and are
compatible with other BTL-listed devices, including all Siemens BACnet building
controllers and operator workstations. All firmware revisions of Siemens Compact and
Modular BACnet building controllers support the MS/TP PPM family, and Firmware
Revision 3.2.2 and later also adds support for U-COV (unsolicited change of value).
Siemens operator workstation Revision 3.11 and later provide System Profile icons
representing MS/TP PPM devices. Siemens BACnet operator workstations with BOB
(BACnet Object Browser , available with Rev 3.7 and later) provide the ability to modify
the MS/TP PPM's custom default device ID, device name and COV increment.
NOTE:
BACnet systems consist of devices that communicate using the BACnet protocol, and
are therefore interoperable with other BACnet products to a certain extent. Note that
interoperability is always dependent on the implementation by the manufacturer in
addition to how the device is actually applied in the field. Only commonly
implemented features will work correctly. Carefully study PICS and BTL for
interoperability when evaluating for use in a mixed manufacturer BACnet system.
