3.5.5 Tools
Spectrum Controls, Inc. provides multiple Windows command-line executables
you may use to communicate with the module. These utilities are compiled from
an open source BACnet stack. The tools require an Ethernet-to-BACnet router.
This gives you the ability to send BACnet messages across the BACnet RS-484
network for easier troubleshooting. You can find the source code on sourceforge
at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacnet/files/bacnet-stack/
Setup
To access the BACnet/IP traffic, set the module IP address using a network
address that on the same network as the PC IP address.
To access the MS/TP connection on the module, set the baud rate and other
parameters using the User Interface. Then connect a BACnet router to your setup.
The router converts BACnet/IP packets to MS/TP packets that are then routed to
the module. Set the router IP address using a network address that is also on the
host network.
WhoIs
The executable, bacwi.exe, looks for who is on the BACnet network. Example:
“bacwi -1” will find all the nodes on the BACnet network.
ReadProperty
This executable, bacrp.exe, will read the property of the module.
Examples. To read AI 1 present value, do this – bacrp 200121 0 1 85
{param 1} – 200121. This is a module instance number.
{param 2} – 0. This is the object type. Object type is defined as: BI(3),
BO(4), AI(0), AO(1).
{param 3} – 1. This is the object instance.
{param 4} – 85. This is the property. Example: present value(85), object
name(77).
WriteProperty
This executablebacwp.exe will write the property of the module.
LINT and ULINT cannot have the same upper range.
LREAL has twice as many bits to work with than REAL
