BACnet PICS
Normative for the BACnet protocol implementation conformance statement
A B
-
GW is a BACnet gateway. It is intended for connecting one or more non
-
BACnet networks into a BACnet internetwork. There are two types
of B
-
GW devices, those that represent non
-
BACnet devices as a network of virtual BACnet devices, and those that represent non
-
BACnet
devices as BACnet objects. Our B
-
GW implementation falls on the latest category.
Our B
-
GW enables specification of the following:
•
Data Sharing
–
Ability to provide the values of any of its BACnet objects
–
Ability to allow modification of some or all of its BACnet objects by another device
•
Alarm and Event Management
–
No requirement
•
Scheduling
–
No requirement
•
Trending
–
No requirement
•
Device and Network Management
–
Ability to respond to queries about its status
–
Ability to respond to requests for information about any of its objects
–
Ability to respond to communication control messages
–
Ability to respond to network layer messages
The rest of this section follows the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135

2016 Annex A
“
PROTOCOL IMPLEMENTATION CONFORMANCE
STATEMENT
”
(BPICS) structure. Therefore, a certain degree of BACnet
’
s nomenclatures is required.
Protocol implementation conformance statement
This is our BACnet Implementation Conformance statement. See the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135
-
2016 Annex A for more information.
•
BACnet Protocol Revision: 12
•
Product description:
A BACnet Gateway (B
-
GW) mapping Wsgateway data input, outputs and values into BACnet objects from a single BACnet device. The Sontay
data are referred as all the properties that a Sontay Hub is able to read or write from different HVAC protocols, such as ModBus, Mbus, LON.
Therefore, our B
-
GW lets the Sontay Hub to pass said data into BACnet networks.

Standard Object Types Supported:
A deep list of BACnet objects supported is located after this sub
-
section. However, all the objects are, in terms of BACnet, statically
created. Therefore, the CreateObject and DeleteObject services are not supported.
See Standard BACnet objects types supported for more information.
