Hi there,

I am looking for support on writing to a BACnet device property. In the BACnet browser I am able to write to the “Out Of Service” property. When trying to do so from Ignition, I get a “Write failed” issue. I have tried from both the quickclient and have created a read/write tag to this property with no luck.

Support on this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks.

For some reason we have this property modeled as read only in the driver. I’ll have to open an issue on our side to change this.
