Configuring the BACnet Provider

To configure the BACnet provider, do the following:

1. Go to the settings panel of the Bacnet Provider object that is created on the basis of the Bacnet Server object.
   

2. From the Type drop-down list, select the required type of object in Axxon PSIM.

3. From the Object drop-down list, select the required object in Axxon PSIM.

4. Set the States Forwarding checkbox to forward the states of an object to Axxon PSIM.

5. In the PORT field, enter the port within the BACnet network.

6. In the Max APDU Length Accepted field, enter the maximum number of octets (eight binary digits) depending on the type of connection (Bacnet IP, Bacnet MS/TP, and so on).

7. In the APDU Retries field, enter the number of attempts to receive the events and/or parameters from an object in case the request was unsuccessful.

8. In the APDU Timeout field, enter the time interval in milliseconds, after which an attempt will be made to re-request if the previous attempt was unsuccessful. Also, this time specifies the COV polling period.

   Note

   COV is COV Subscriptions, that is, subscription to objects of the BACnet device, in this case, it is a subscription to the Axxon PSIM object. The BACnet server waits for the notification about the events and/or Axxon PSIM object parameter changes in order to forward them.

9. In the Description field, enter the description of the forwarded data, if necessary.
10. Click the Apply button to save the changes.

The BACnet provider configuration is now complete.
