BACnet Pics and Bibs 

The Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement or “PICS” describes the BACnet 
capabilities of a particular BACnet implementation.  It is a written document, created by the 
manufacturer of a device, which identifies the particular options specified by BACnet that are 
implemented in the device.  Please refer to the wiring diagram section for a PICS statement. 

BACnet Interoperability Building Blocks (BIBBs) describe a list of services a BACnet device 
provides. The main areas that the building blocks are concerned with include: data sharing, 
trends, schedules, device and system management. BIBBs help specify the interoperability 
capabilities of a BACnet device. Please contact the factory to obtain a PICS statement or BIBBs 
profile. 

Variable Definition 

In the variable name, “_

x

” denotes the humidifier number.  If there is only one humidifier, all 

variable names will end in “_1”.  If two units are networked together, see Figure 4, the second 
unit’s variable names will end in “_2”.  For 3 networked units, “_3” and so on.  If unsure of the 
unit number, each unit will have a label, in the electrical compartment close to the terminal strip, 
indicating the device instance of each humidifier. 

 

Links 

XPS

 is capable of communicating a variety of variables for each unit that is connected to 

it. For a variable listing and definition refer to Table 6. Network variable addresses for the 
humidifiers may be seen in Table 7 to Table 14.
