BACnet Analog Value Objects
The MD-BMS and MD-BMED Power Meters support writable max_master and
max_info_frames properties in the device object for MS/TP networks. For best network
performance, the max_master should be set to the highest MS/TP MAC address on the
network.
The max_info_frames does not need to be changed in most installations.
The device ID property of the BACnet device object is also writable. All device IDs on a
BACnet network must be unique.
The Ethernet version can register as Foreign Devices to a BBMD (BACnet/IP
Broadcast Management Device). The address can also be written to BACnet object
identifiers 14014 (BBMD IP Address LSW) and 14015 (BBMD IP Address MSW).
NOTE: The LSW/MSW are in network order.
For example: To set the BBMD server to 192.168.1.100 you would write:
43200 (0xA8C0) to BBMD IP address LSW object identifier 14014
and
25601 to (0x6401) to BBMD IP address MSW object identifier 14015
This sends the register as foreign device packet with a Time to Live (TTL) of 60000
seconds.
To disable BBMD foreign device registration write 0 to both BBMD IP address LSW
(14014) and BBMD IP address MSW (14015) or simply write 0.0.0.0 to the BBMD field
in the ViewPoint Comms Setup tab.
Editable Fields
The Name, Location, and Description Notes fields are all editable with up to 32
characters. If the software you use to edit the fields add characters to our input, you
