PROGRAMMING
MS/TP CONNECTION
Objects
All of the existing predefined BACstat II objects are readily accessible over the MS/TP network.
Control Applications
BACstats with I/O may be configured to run one of six possible built-in control applications.
Another option disables local control altogether.
GCL+ Programming
BACstats are not programmable devices – GCL+ does not reside in a BACstat. Rather, when
connected to an MS/TP network you configure a BACstat for local operation and write GCL+
located elsewhere as necessary to do additional functions. In this way you configure the BACstat for
local operation (both display & button handling and local control) and then write any necessary
GCL+ in another controller for additional strategies.
For example: Through the Configuration Menu, you typically configure the BACstat II display and
buttons to functional locally, so GCL+ programs are not necessary for handling the display value or
adjusting setpoint (i.e., AV15 = 1237). You may also select a suitable control application for local
control. Then, using GCL+ programming located in another controller (i.e., DCU or other System
Device) you make mode and setpoint changes based on Time-of-Day or other conditions.

PPLICATIONS
When connected to an MS/TP network, the BACstat may configured to operate according to one of 7
possible application control strategies, and displayed in the Application variable (AV12).
Application
Description
AV12
None (MUX)*
