FS-8700-16 BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual 1. Page 3 of 20 BACnet Description The BACnet PTP driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices using the BACnet protocol over a serial RS-232 physical layer. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client. The information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the configuration files included with the FieldServer. 2. Driver Scope of Supply 2.1.
FS-8700-16 BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual 3. Page 4 of 20 Hardware Connections 3 It is possible to connect a BACnet device to any of the eight RS-232 ports. These ports just need to be configured for BACnet in the configuration file.

FS-8700-16 BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual Page 14 of 20 Appendix B. Advanced Topics Appendix B.1. BACnet Object Names When an external BACnet Client builds a list of Object Names, the BACnet Server Map Descriptor name determines the BACnet Object Name. If the Map Descriptor length is greater than 1, then the Object Name will be suffixed with the index into the Map Descriptor.
FS-8700-16 BACnet PTP Serial Driver Manual Appendix B.4. Page 15 of 20 Network number The default Network number of a FieldServer is 5. In order to ensure communication between the BACnet Client and all Servers on a BACnet network, however, it may be necessary to assign a unique network number to each FieldServer. A unique network number will need to be assigned if both of the following conditions are true: • The FieldServer has multiple BACnet Server nodes.

Troubleshooting Tips Appendix C.1. • • • • • • • • • • Debugging a BACnet connection – Hints and Tips Disconnect the FieldServer from the BACnet network when transferring images to the BCU. If duplicate object instances are accidentally configured in the FieldServer, the second call of the instance will overwrite the first one. This may cause a BACnet Object to be “lost.
