BACnet Property

Short Name

BACnet Description

Notes

location

Locat

Location

Indicates the physical location of the BACnet Device.

model-name

ModelNam

Model name

Assigned by the vendor to represent the model of the BACnet Device.

Firmware-Revision

S1FrmwRv

Firmware revision

Assigned by the vendor to represent the level of firmware installed in the BACnet Device.

Time_Zone

Tz

Time zone

Identifies the time zone assigned to the BACnet Device. This value can be changed by using the drop-down menu of Time Zone choices.

The default value from the factory is: (UTC-06:00) Central Time

UTC offset

UTC offset

UTC offset

Indicates the number of minutes (-780 to +780) offset between local standard time and Universal Time Coordinated. The time zones to the west of the zero degree meridian are positive values, and those to the east are negative values. The value of the UTC_Offset property is subtracted from the UTC received in UTCTimeSynchronization service requests to calculate the correct local standard time.

Application_Software_Version

 

Application SW version

Identifies the version of application software installed in the machine. The content of this string is a local matter, but it could be a date-and-time stamp, a programmer's name, a host file version number, etc.

protocol-version

ProtVn

Protocol version

Represents the version of the BACnet protocol supported by this BACnet Device. Every major revision of BACnet increases this version number by one. The initial release of BACnet is version 1.

protocol-revision

ProtRv

Protocol revision

Indicates the minor revision level of the BACnet standard. This value shall start at 1 and be incremented for any substantive change(s) to the BACnet standard that affect device communication or behavior. This value will revert to zero upon each change to the Protocol_Version property. Changes to the values for Protocol_Version and Protocol_Revision are recorded in the History of Revisions at the end of this standard.

apdu-segment-timeout

APDUST

APDU segment timeout

Indicates the amount of time in milliseconds between retransmission of an APDU segment. A suggested value for this property is 5000 milliseconds. This value is non-zero if the Device object property called Number_Of_APDU_Retries is non-zero.

To achieve reliable communication, it is recommended that the values of the APDU_Segment_Timeout properties of the Device objects of all intercommunicating devices should contain the same value.

apdu-timeout

APDUT

APDU timeout

Indicates the amount of time in milliseconds between retransmissions of an APDU requiring acknowledgment for which no acknowledgment has been received. A suggested value for this property is 10,000 milliseconds for devices that permit modification of this parameter. Otherwise, the default value is 60,000 milliseconds. This value is non-zero if the Device object property called Number_Of_APDU_Retries is non-zero.

number-of-APDU-retries

APDURN

Number of APDU retries

Indicates the maximum number of times that an APDU is retransmitted. If this device does not perform retries, then this property is set to zero. If the value of this property is greater than zero, a non-zero value is placed in the Device object APDU_Timeout property.

vendor-name

VndrNam

Vendor name

Identifies the manufacturer of the BACnet Device.

vendor-identifier

VndrID

Vendor identifier

A unique vendor identification code, assigned by ASHRAE, which is used to distinguish proprietary extensions to the protocol.

Serial_Number

SerialNr

Serial number

The unique serial number of the device as shipped from the factory.

max-apdu-length-accepted

APDULM

Max APDU length accepted

The maximum number of octets that may be contained in a single, indivisible application layer protocol data unit. The value of this property is greater than or equal to 50. The value of this property is also constrained by the underlying data link technology.

max-segments-accepted

MaxSegm

Max segments accepted

Indicates the maximum number of segments of an APDU that this device will accept.

segmentation-supported

SegmSprt

Segmentation supported

Indicates whether the BACnet Device supports segmentation of messages and, if so, whether it supports segmented transmission, reception, or both.
