    Automated Logic Bacnet point IDs

    Hey guys and gals I'm trying to intergrate my current BMS to take over some Automated Logic vav's,vvt's, and fcu controllers. I was able to probe the controllers and get most of the points except the temp setpoints. I am able to program and read the other I/Os.

    So I am in need of the Instance numbers or Bacnet point IDs. example : 4004 space temperature 4001 Airflow status...
    Thanks in advance..

    Setpoints are not writable via bacnet unless extra programing is done in the ALC module.

    As of a week ago today, ALC has released a new BACnet setpoint MB along with the new BACnet timeclock MB. Downside is though you have to be running WebCTRL 5.5 and the newest driver (5.52). FINALLY!

    While ALC did release these yesterday with the new ZS sensors, it will not help on anything existing unless the ALC programs are altered to include the new microblocks.

    True, at least the option is there now. Trying to rain on my parade huh?

    I just did not want him to think that all they had to do was apply an update and it would make the set points bacnet.

    I will say the new sensors are way overdue as well as the bacnet Setpoint microblock.

    Yea I gotcha, just giving you a hard time. They are way over due. So many new sites are requiring temp and C02 it will be nice to have just one sensor now.

    I actually just finished digging into the new sensors plus the items mentioned by xarralu and programming the ALC would not be an issue. If I need to purchase some sensors and program in the MBs then its only going to be a small speed bump. In the long run I will be able to interface with any ALC equiment and doing so would allow me to wrap up this project since the set point control was the only thing we were lacking. Thanks guys...

    yeah I have been waiting for these combo sensors. What a pain it has been to have 70 vavs on a site and each of them has temp,co2 and RH! Long awaited sensors!
