Hi @Kevin.Herron,

The list of supported objects with the Ignition driver is quite limited regarding to the existing objects in the standards.

Is there any workaround to read/write the data of unsupported objects ?  
Is there any plan to add new objects to the ignition driver ? especially Calendar …

Just to use Kepware.

Yes, but they aren't planned or prioritized near term.

Sorry, probably not the answers you wanted to hear.

Hi all,

We are faceing the the limitations of the BACnet Driver for ignition more often.  
More and more customers espacialy in the buildigautomation industry are interessted in ignition but need to have an interface to BACnet which supports Types like TLOG(Trendlog) and Calendar.  
The customers do also need an BTL certified solution because it is regulated for theire Projects to only use certified clients in the BACnet system. It would be great to have a B-OWS Level certified driver.  
I would realy appreciate to raise the priority on the BACnet Topic over all.

kind regards  
Marco

BACNET - add Schedule for a remote Device

a possible workaround with this ticket

> [@BACNET - add Schedule for a remote Device](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bacnet-add-schedule-for-a-remote-device/53503):

> Hi @Kevin.Herron, We would like to be able to add schedule object to a remote bacnet device with Ignition Bacnet driver. To my mind, Bacnet schedule has to be to read or write when requested by a user demand. So, is there a way to do this with ignition script with import of objects from the stack (bacnet4J) used in the Ignition bacnet driver ? As a feature request, some script functions exposed by the Ignition Bacnet driver to R/W bacnet object properties not exposed as tags or bacnet object…
