BacNet/IP

The BACnet/IP  driver provides communication with devices supporting BACnet protocol in its implementation over IP.

BACnet is a protocol defined by ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers). The ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2004 document contains the protocol definition. Annex  to the document contains specification of the BACnet transported over IP, which is the implementation chosen for this driver.

The BACnet protocol has a number of services that permit to read/write the properties of the configured Data Objects. In order to get values of the Present_Value and Status_Flags properties, it is possible to request the values with a ReadPropertyMultiple or subscribing a COV (Change Of Value)  notification for the Data Object. Using the ReadPropertyMultiple means poll the object with a request and receive an answer containing the data; using COV notification means subscribe to the device for a notification when Present_Value or Status_Flags of a Data Object change. This second way results in a spontaneous message from the device, whenever a Present_Value or a Status_Flags changes its value, reducing the traffic at the minimum.
