Getting Started

BACnet Server Integration (make the Rubix Compute a discoverable BACnet device.

Important things to note before proceeding:
  • Install required apps driver-bacnet
info

Make sure the config is set for the number of AIs and AOs needed. (eg 2x Nube-IO IO-16 we would need to add in the bacnet-config 16-AIs and 16-AOs)

rubix-wires bacnet-server node

To make the Rubix Compute a native BACnet device please see link: bacnet

See below for installing the BACnet-driver and editing the server settings

IFace (Interface)Refers to the network interface or interfaces through which the server communicates with other devices on the network.
Device IDThis is a unique identifier assigned to the BACnet device (server) on the network. It distinguishes one BACnet device from another and is crucial for addressing and communication.
AI Max (Analog Input Maximum)Represents the maximum number of analog input (AI) points or objects that the BACnet server can handle.
AO Max (Analog Output Maximum)Indicates the maximum number of analog output (AO) points or objects that the BACnet server can support.
AV Max (Analog Value Maximum)Refers to the maximum number of analog value (AV) points or objects that the BACnet server can manage.
BI Max (Binary Input Maximum)Denotes the maximum number of binary input (BI) points or objects that the BACnet server supports.
BO Max (Binary Output Maximum)Indicates the maximum number of binary output (BO) points or objects that the BACnet server can handle.
BV Max (Binary Value Maximum)Represents the maximum number of binary value (BV) points or objects that the BACnet server can accommodate.
