Installation

This chapter documents how to install the BACnet driver to run in both a Supervisor (client) and remote station (server).

To use this driver, you must have a target host (remote controller) that is licensed for the feature bacnet, or a PC host, which acts as a BACnet Supervisor. The Supervisor must also be licensed for bacnet.

 NOTE: All platforms support the link layer types BACnet/IP, BACnet/Ethernet, and BACnet/SC, however, BACnet MS/TP trunks are directly supported by QNX-based controllers. Separate licensing is required.  

Modules

The palette provides four BACnet modules.
