The BACnet client component can be used to set and query the values of BACnet servers. The BACnet server can be used to provide data points that can be queried by BACnet clients.

 

If this component is created, it counts as 2500 components and from 300 channels it counts as 3000 components.

Note:

BACnet/IP Broadcast Management Device (BBMD)

Broadcast messages (Who-Is) can be used to find BACnet devices that are located in the network. These broadcast messages are only received by devices in the local network, but are not forwarded to other subnets by IP routers.

BBMDs are used so that BACnet devices outside the local network can also be searched for. A BBMD (either an additional device or a software application) must be configured for each subnet. This allows the broadcast messages received from the local network via unicasts to be forwarded beyond the local network to BBMDs on other subnets. These BBMDs then distribute the messages within their network. The BBMD must not run on the EisBär machine.
