13.5. Points Definition
Every point defined in the gateway has the following ASCII features associated with it:
Feature Description
Signal Signal or point description. Only for information purposes at the user level.
ASCII string Defines the ASCII string that will be used to access this register.
• Max. length: 32 characters
Read/Write Defines the current function (read, write, or both) to be used from the ASCII side with this register. It can’t be configured as it is
directly set when selecting the current BACnet type object.

Spontaneous Determines the creation and sending of an ASCII message when any point from the BACnet side changes its value.
A/D
(Analog/Digital) Defines the current variable type for this register from the ASCII side. It can’t be configured as it is directly set when selecting
the current BACnet type object.

13.6. Messages
The ASCII side communicates through simple ASCII messages.
NOTE
You can configure these messages to match the ASCII master device using the configuration tool.
The ASCII messages used to read/write points have the following format:
Message to read a point value:
ASCII_String?\r Where:
• ASCII_String is the string indicating the point address inside the Intesis gateway.
• ? is the character used to indicate that this is a reading message (configurable with
Intesis MAPS).
• \r is the carriage return character (HEX 0x0D, DEC 13).
Message to write a point value:
ASCII_String=vv\r Where:
• ASCII_String is the string indicating the point address inside the Intesis gateway.
• = is the character used to indicate that this is a reading message (configurable with
Intesis MAPS).
• vv is the current point value.
• \r is the carriage return character (HEX 0x0D, DEC 13).
