BACnet Networks
Compatibility
The MicroTech II Chiller Unit Controller conforms to the
BACnet Standard (ANSI/ASHARE 135-2004) as stated in the
Protocol Implementation and Conformance Statement (PICS).
See BACnet Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement
on page 102.
BACnet Objects
MicroTech II Chiller Unit Controllers incorporate standard
BACnet object types (i.e., object types dened in the BACnet
Standard) and additional proprietary BACnet object types that
conform to the BACnet Standard. and some include additional
proprietary properties. Objects contain properties that control
unit variables or data points. Some object types occur more
than once in the unit controller; each occurrence or instance has
different property values and controls different unit variables or
data points. Each instance is designated with a unique instance
index. Some properties can be adjusted (read/write properties,
e.g., setpoints) from the network and others can only be
interrogated (read-only properties, e.g., status information).
Each data point accessible from a BACnet network is
described with a table that gives the Object Identier, Property
Identier, Full BACnet Reference or path, and the Name
enumeration of the property.

Object Identier
Object Identiers are each designated with an Object type as
dened in the BACnet specication. The rst column of the
data point denition gives the object type. This object happens
to be the Entering Condenser Water Temperature.
The object identier is a property of the object that you
can read from the object code. The name of the property
is “Object_Identier” and the property identier is 75. The
ASHRAE BACnet specication reserves the rst 128 numbers
for ASHRAE dened objects. Manufactures may dene
additional object types and assign a number above 127 as long
as they conform to the requirements of the ASHRAE BACnet
specication.
Each object in a chiller controller has a unique identier.
BACnet object identiers are two-part numbers of BACnet
Object Identier data type. The rst part identies the object
type (the rst 10 bits of the 32-bit BACnet Object Identier
[See ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2004 BACnet A Data Communication
Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks]). The
rst column of the data point denition gives the object type.
The second part identies the instances of that particular object
type (the last 22 bits of the 32-bit BACnet Object Identier).
The object identier is shown in the data points listing as two
numbers. The rst number is shown in the Type Enumeration
column and designates the Object type enumeration.
The second number is shown in the Instance column and
designates the instance of that particular object type.
Each object also has a name. Object names are character
strings. The object name is a property of the object that you
can read from the object. The name of the property is “Object_
Name” and the property identier is 77.
Objects are sometimes referred to as an object type and
instance number as they are in the BACnet specication. The
example object above is Analog Intput, Instance 18.
Property Identier
Each object has a number of properties or attributes. Each
property has a unique identier of BACnet Property Identier
data type. Property identiers are an enumerated set; a
number identies each member. The value of the Property
Identier enumeration is shown in the Property Enumeration
column. In the example above the property identier is 85.
Property Name
Each property also has a unique name. Property names are
character strings and shown in the Property Name column.
In the example above the property name is Present Value
(Property Enumeration 85).
Object Name
This property is a character string that is the unique name of
the object in the BACnet device. In the example above the
object name is EntCondWaterTemp
Property Values
Some properties are standard data types and some are
enumerated sets. If the property value is an enumerated set,
all enumerated values and corresponding meaning are given in
the Property Values column of the data point listing.
