BACnet/IP Server Configuration: Auto-Server Mode (Default)
While in Auto-Server mode no fields under the Data Groups can be edited. Auto-Server Mode looks at
the other protocol and then configures the Data Groups below to match. BACnet/IP points and will be
defined after the other protocol is configured.
Within the BACnet/IP Server, the data will automatically be configured according to the following rules:
•
Any 8 Bit Signed/Unsigned, 16 Bit Signed/Unsigned, 32 Bit Signed/Unsigned, 64 Bit
Signed/Unsigned, 32 Bit Float, and 64 Bit Float data will be mapped as
Analog Objects
.
•
Any Coils or 1/8/16/32 Bit Binary Packs will be mapped as
Binary Objects
.
•
Any String Data Types will be mapped as
CharacterString Value Objects
.
•
The Input or Output Object direction depends on whether it is configured as a Read or Write on
the other protocol.
•
If the other protocol exceeds the number of Analog, Binary or CharacterString Value Objects the
BACnet/IP Server supports (see limits on webpage), then nothing will be mapped. You will see
the # of Objects column remain at 0 and the main page will display the following error:
o
To fix this error, simply decrease the amount of data you configured on the other
protocol so that the max number of BACnet/IP objects is not exceeded OR call customer
support to increase the limits.
