4 ACC-SVP01B-EN • BCI-I Integration Guide
Overview
The BACnet Communication Interface for IntelliPak (BCI-I) is comprised of a Tracer™ UC400
controller with interface software. It is a non-programmable communications module that allows
heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment to communicate on a BACnet
communications network.
This guide provides:
• A list of ordering numbers
• A brief overview of the BACnet™ protocol
• BCI-I configuration information
• A explanation of the BCI-I device rotary switches and LEDs
• Data point configuration property definitions
• Tables listing object data points
• Additional resources
• A glossary of terms
Note: Users of this guide should have basic knowledge of BACnet protocol. For more detailed
information about this protocol, visit the company web site listed under “Additional
Resources,” p. 44.

BACnet Protocol
The Building Automation and Control Network (BACnet and ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2004)
protocol is a standard that allows building automation systems or components from different
manufacturers to share information and control functions. BACnet provides building owners the
capability to connect various types of building control systems or subsystems together for a variety
of reasons. In addition, multiple vendors can use this protocol to share information for monitoring
and supervisory control between systems and devices in a multi-vendor interconnected system.
The BACnet protocol identifies standard objects (data points) called BACnet objects. Each object
has a defined list of properties that provide information about that object. BACnet also defines a
number of standard application services that are used to access data and manipulate these objects
and provides a client/server communication between devices. For more information on BACnet
protocol, refer to “Additional Resources,” p. 44.
BACnet Testing Laboratory (BTL) Certification
The BCI-I supports the BACnet communication protocol and has been designed to meet the
requirements of the application-specific control profile. For more details, refer to the BTL web site
at www.bacnetassociation.org.
