The Avi-on
BACnet Link
BACnet Link FEATURES
The BCS Link interfaces between Building Control Systems via BACnet IP to provide two-way building control integration. An Internet connection to the cloud is not required.

BACnet MESSAGES
| Message | Functions | Data Type | Unit | Min Value | Max Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dimming | Read/Write | Real | Percent | 0 | 100 |
| Motion Sensing | Read | Binary | Binary PV | N/A | N/A |
| Energy Monitoring | Read | Analog Register Meter Reading | Watt Hours* 15 minute interval | 0 | 5242880 |
| Color Changing | Read/Write | Analog Value | Degrees Kelvin | 2700 | 5000 |
To get kWh/15 minute interval consumption it is necessary to subtract the latest reading from the prior reading. A blank reading means data was not received for that interval. If the reading was lost, but the device was operating, the next interval that reports will include all the energy used since the prior received interval, so lost intervals will not cause loss of data. The interval is broadcast every 15 minutes at the end of the interval (latency <3 seconds). The receiving system should time stamp based on local system time.
When a device register value exceeds 5242880 or on a power cycle, the register value will reset to 0 and start again. Interpreting the data requires “rollover” logic to recognize these rollovers and produce a correct value. This is standard logic in BCS systems designed to handle ordinary meter reading data.
