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 will be stored 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.
Appendix B.4. Network number The default Network number of a FieldServer is 5. In order to ensure communication between the BACnet Client and all Servers on a BACnet network, however, it may be necessary to assign a unique network number to each FieldServer.
• the instance will overwrite the first one. This may cause a BACnet Object to be “lost.” If “Virtual_BCU_…” is not being indicated as the device description for the FieldServer on the • BACnet SCADA system, then the FieldServer is not communicating with the SCADA system.
