BACnet/IP

Description​

The adapter allows to connect devices supporting BACnet/IP.

Configuration​

The following configuration options are available when creating an adapter:

PLC Address​

This field requires the PLC address in form of the IP without the prefixed protocol (e.g., 192.168.34.56).

Polling Interval​

The polling interval requires a number in milliseconds, which represents the interval in which the adapter will poll the PLC for new data. For instance, a polling interval of 1000 milliseconds will configure the adapter to send a request to the PLC every second.

Supported Transports​

The following transports are supported by this adapter:

  • udp
  • tcp
  • pcap

Transport Metadata​

Required​

udp

Advanced​

udp

  • local-port: Some connections require a UDP listener to listen on a fixed port. Use this configuration option in order to define the port number of the local port. (INT)

Protocol Metadata​

Required​

Optional​

  • ede-file-path: Path to the location of a single EDE file, that contains the descriptor for the target device. (STRING)
  • ede-directory-path: Path to the directory used for storing multiple EDE files. These files contain the descriptors for the possible target devices. (STRING)

Tags​

The syntax to define tags is based on the PLC4X syntax, see https://plc4x.apache.org/users/protocols/s7.html. Address Pattern:

propertyName=%{Memory-Area}{start-address}:{Data-Type}[{array-size}]

temperature=%I0.0:INT

Best Practices​

Instead of creating a large event containing all nodes that should be available in StreamPipes, consider to group the fields logically into smaller adapters. This will ease the definition of pipelines for users and eases future modifications.
