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.
BACnet Client will automatically discover the IP address based on the Node_ID supplied. It is still necessary for the FieldServer itself to have a valid IP address, however. Please refer to the FieldServer Utilities Manual for instructions on changing the FieldServer IP address.
