How to bring real equipment onto a BMS over BACnet: chillers, rooftop units, boilers, VRF controllers, drives, pumps, valves and routers. Each guide covers what to switch on, the factory addresses and instances, the points a BMS uses, the rule that bites in the field — tested against a simulated device — and a free BACManager workspace to download.

The option card, the licence or the menu, and the factory MAC, baud rate and device instance — which is often the same on every unit.
Object types, instances and names as the maker gives them, with what to write and what only to read.
Watchdogs that expect a write again, setpoints that only count on a change, routers, request intervals — shown on a simulated device in BACManager, with and without the fix.
Every guide names the manuals, PICS and EDE lists it was made from. The makers' names and product names are trademarks of their owners; BACManager is not affiliated with any of them.
