BACnet Protocol

Planning your deployment

Blah blah blah

Enable and configure BACnet protocol

Before you begin, you must have an active edge gateway connected to a BACnet building network. Review the Planning your deployment section for guidance with these pre-requisites.

Configure BAcnet on an edge device

To configure BACnet on a gateway edge device:

1. Login to the Green Stack Console

2. Navigate to Platform Configuration

3. Select the System Profile tab

4. Select an Edge Gateway from the system profile tree

5. Expand the edge gateway in the tree and select Services

6. Expand the BACnet service panel

7. Provide a device instance ID, network, and UDP port number as desired

8. Click Save to save the configuration

9. Toggle the service status to Enabled to start it

Once configured, the device will need 1-2 minutes to start and stabilize with the network.

Configure BACnet alarming

By default, Green Stack automatically annunciates intrinsic BACnet alarms for every managed point in your account. You can configure how Green Stack handles BACnet alarming and disable alarm and fault annunciations for any BACnet point.

Alarm and fault conditions will be displayed in the alarm summary screen when:

• The managed point is configured with intrinsic BACnet alarming
• The managed point has a valid notification class defined
• The notification class is configured to annunciate off-normal and fault conditions

Notification Class Configuration

Green Stack annunciates alarms and faults when the assigned notification class has event-enable for off-normal and/or fault events configured

Event Priority Mapping

New events are prioritized by the notification class priority as defined in the following table.
