CODESYS BACnet

Configurator and protocol stack fully integrated in the IEC 61131-3 Development System

Integrated BACnet/IP Support in CODESYS

BACnet is a standardized data communication protocol for building automation and building control networks (Building Automation and Control networks).

The BACnet integration in CODESYS includes

  • an integrated configurator
  • a protocol stack in the form of a CODESYS library
  • a runtime system component
  • device descriptions for BACnet servers, BACnet objects and BACnet clients

Benefits

  • Cross-platform communication protocol especially designed for building automation
  • Completely integrated BACnet configurator: easy linking of BACnet objects as devices in the CODESYS Development System without additional tools
  • Direct access to BACnet-properties via device properties
  • Easy integration of BACnet devices and applications in existing networks without additional implementation effort

Functional Scope of the CODESYS BACnet Integration

  • A defined set of BACnet objects representing physical inputs, outputs and software objects
  • BACnet objects in CODESYS are combined in a BACnet server representing the functionality of a real device.
  • Each object is characterized by its BACnet properties.
  • The integration of BACnet in CODESYS complies with the AMEV AS-A and AS-B standard:
    • IEC applications have direct access to the properties of BACnet objects and the configuration pa-rameters of a BACnet server.
    • Programming of BACnet clients: Through BACnet Services, users can access BACnet functions in the BACnet network.
    • Application behavior of BACnet objects is already pre-implemented, e. g. property access, cal-endar object, schedule object, who-has, i-am).

System Requirements

  • Operating systems: Windows, Linux
  • CPU architecture: x86, ARM (tested– more on request)
  • Communication interface: Ethernet (TCP/IP)

How can you obtain and implement the CODESYS BACnet support?

  • You are a system integrator or a user in the machine/plant construction sector or the like:
    Use controllers equipped with CODESYS BACnet support. Check the CODESYS Device Directory for the devices best suited for your specific needs. Once you have the required hardware, there are no additional costs involved.
  • You are a manufacturer of programmable devices:
    Implement the CODESYS BACnet support on your hardware. All you need for this implementation is the CODESYS Runtime Toolkit with CODESYS BACnet.
