[Feature-7753] Addon some specific bacnet object type to IGN Bacnet driver process?

[r.lebohec]

Hi @Kevin.Herro, regardless of changes to Bacnet stack Encodable in current functions.
Do you have any news regarding the integration of readRawMultiple/ writeRawMultiple Bacnet functions?

[Kevin.Herron]

They are implemented, pending QA, targeted to 8.1.32 right now.

[r.lebohec]

That is good news! We are looking forward to it. Thanks.
As @mazeyrat said before and has done in the past, if we can help by testing a beta bacnet driver module, please do.

[Kevin.Herron]

You'll be able to test it when it gets merged and becomes available in the nightly release.

Nightly Changelog: 8.1.32-SNAPSHOT-b20230801 Comms Drivers IGN-7792: Accept Encodable in system.bacnet.writeRaw Both the system.bacnet.writeRaw and system.bacnet.writeRawMultiple scripting functions now skips strict checks on the expected write value, determined by the object type and property identifier, if the write value being passed in is an Encodable. This allows writes to vendor-specific object and properties that the driver does not have explicit support for. IGN-7832: Add "writeRawMul…

I tried the system.bacnet.readRawMultiple function with the elements of the previous system.bacnet.readRaw function call included in a list but unfortunately, it seems that there is a problem with the system.bacnet signature. readRawMultiple

Ignition v8.1.30 (b2023071408)
Java: Azul Systems, Inc. 11.0.18

[Kevin.Herron]

Looks like you need the matching platform nightly, and we need to update the required platform version in the module.

[r.lebohec]

Thank you very much for the implementation of the additional Bacnet functions of 8.1.32, this opens up many more possibilities.

[Feature-7753] Addon some specific bacnet object type to IGN Bacnet driver process?

They are implemented, pending QA, targeted to 8.1.32 right now.

In the same way, would it be possible to complete them with the following stack functions?

• GetAlarmSummary / GetEventInformation: For making active alarms and events available in the device
• AcknowledgeAlarm: For acknowledgment of alarms. Indeed, certain alarms/events can be blocking for the process
• ReadRange: For reading historical data in the device.

Adding functionality to the module will bypass the dependency with the OPC UA 1.05 update

[r.lebohec]

Hi @Kevin.Herron,
Any suggestions or progress on subject?

[Kevin.Herron]

I'll write up a feature ticket for this, but there's no plan and no developer bandwidth to work on these right now.

[r.lebohec]

We never know, it is best to strike while the iron is hot!
I stay on top of new priority assignement of the feature ticket.
Thanks a lot,

[r.lebohec]

Any breakthrough of feature ticket? processing date affected?
Have a good day.

[Kevin.Herron]

No, nobody is looking at or working on this stuff right now.
