BACnet/IP Server Configuration: Auto-Configure Mode (Default) 

While in Auto-Configure Mode, no fields under the data groups can be edited. Auto-Configure Mode 
looks at the other protocol and then configures the data groups below to match. BACnet/IP points will 
be defined after the other protocol is configured. 

Within the BACnet/IP server, the data will automatically be configured according to the following rules: 

3)

 

Any 8 Bit Signed/Unsigned, 16 Bit Signed/Unsigned, 32 Bit Signed/Unsigned, 64 Bit 
Signed/Unsigned, 32 Bit Float, and 64 Bit Float data will be mapped as 

Analog Objects

4)

 

Any Coils or 1/8/16/32 Bit Binary Packs will be mapped as 

Binary Objects

5)

 

Any String Data Types will be mapped as 

CharacterString Value Objects

6)

 

The input or output object direction depends on whether it is configured as a read or write on 
the other protocol. 

7)

 

If the other protocol exceeds the number of analog, binary or CharacterString value objects the 
BACnet/IP server supports (see limits on webpage), then nothing will be mapped. You will see 
the # of Objects column remain at 0 and the main page will display the following error:  

 

o

 

To fix this error, simply decrease the amount of data you configured on the other 
protocol so that the max number of BACnet/IP objects is not exceeded or call customer 
support to increase the limits.
