    BACNET MSTP DESCRIPTION The BACnet Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MSTP) driver implements a data link protocol that uses the services of the RS-485 physical layer. See the FieldServer BACnet PIC statement for the level of conformance that this driver implements. All information in a BACnet system is represented in terms of objects. The Object_Identifier is a 32-bit code that identifies the type of Object (also identified by the Object_Type Property) and its "Instance"...

    Appendix A.4. FieldServer implementation of BACnet priority Arrays When BACnet Output objects are written to the Server side of the FieldServer, an associated write priority is given to each write value. When the FieldServer receives the write value, it stores it to the Map Descriptor Priority Array Table at the specified priority. The Priority Array Table is then scanned and the value with the highest priority is stored to the Data Array location specified by the Map Descriptor.

    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, a RPM or WPM transaction can be constructed by linking multiple Map Descriptors.
